Argh. So the deal is that we live in the boonies. Not such a big deal if we just want to head in for groceries or a bite to eat at the local restaurant...that stuff is only a 10-20 minute drive. But other stuff that actually takes place in Victoria is at least a 30-40 minute commute. We deal with it, we're used to it, sometimes it's nice to have that extra time unwind in the car.
But when you are heading into town for something and the old granny in front of you on Metchosin Road finds it necessary to do EXACTLY the friggin speed limit it can be maybe a tiny, teeny bit annoying! Ya Ya, they are doing the speed limit....but it's a country road for crying out loud. 95% of the people on this road are exceding the speed limit. I am one of this 95%! Get out of my way!! Especially when you can see in your rearview mirror that you now have 6 cars piled bumper to bumper behind you!! (FYI, there are about a hundred opportunities to pull off and wait for traffic to pass.)
To top this off, at the end of this 10 torturous minutes of doddling there is a lovely stretch of double lane road for the slowpokes to pull to the right and let us speed demons pass. DBF has noted on several occassions (as he has to drive this route to work every morning) that inevitably these doddling farts speed right up to like 80km as soon as they hit this double lane (which by the way is still a 50km zone, just like the entire road they just travelled)...thus making it impossible for you to pass!! Then you are stuck behind them again at the end of the double lane where they return to doing EXACTLY the friggin speed limit again. What gives?!!
It makes no sense. Open your eyes and get out of the god damn way!!!!
