Whenever I wake up, I always turn on the news to check out the weather and traffic for the morning; my drive isn't exactly short so even some slowdown means I have to leave 20-30 minutes early in order to get to campus on time.
Of course, FOX2 has there little morning things, like the Fox Beat and what not. One thing that did catch my attention was that they were informing people about an upcoming police reinforcement of i-696.
Apparently, and the officer says this in the short interview, that too many "good" drivers have been complaining about the speed conditions on the highway. These good drivers coined 696 as Michigan's Autobahn. I thought that was pretty funny, although it may be true.
I consider myself in the higher tier of speeders when I'm going to and from school. The left to lanes usually consist of speeds around 75-90 miles an hour, while the right two stick more to the speed limit around 65 mph.
Speeding does not make you a bad driver. Being a bad driver makes you a bad driver. I can only imagine that the good drivers this cop was talking about were 50-70 age ranged Buick LeSabre owners who manage to weasel their way into the left lanes going the speed limit and wonder why everyone's so pissed off at them.
Problems do not occur if you stay in your lane. If you plan on driving slow, stick to the right with the rest of the handicap stickers.
