New driving law bans motorists from eating breakfast sandwiches in Nova Scotia

When we were into MX, we spent a lot of time on the highways. ..and I used to commute 3 hours a day at hwy speed.. I stopped the commute when I noticed that I would hit the highway and then be arriving at work w/o much recall of the drive..

I think I have seen everything from reading a newspaper to watching, it looked like TV.

I think for the most part, people are bored. R&T did a study years ago where they took a significant length of highway, a bunch of people (all age groups) and a bunch of normal cars. They blocked out all the gauges and told the folks to drive where you felt most comfortable. They had gizmos on the cars to state how fast they were going.

As it turns out, the most comfortable speed was somewhere between 70 and 80 MPH. When you are bored, the mind is wandering..especially in the flat states and provinces...you know, where you can watch you dog run away..for days..

The you get the vanrockets with mom in front and kids in the back that want to pass everything and the VWs... not sure why so many speeders drive them.. rain or snow..

Then my (and many truckers favorite) , those that do everything to pass you then slow down or even brake..

When I am driving my toy, and I am cruising at the speed limit or just below, every tiny car has to pass me...
