My days of excessive speeding are over. When I drive I typically have my wife in the car, and we have good conversations. So it's nice to be able to focus on that and driving, and not adding watching for cops out of every nook and cranny.
I try to keep it down also. I'm passed by some wingnut between my home in Cummington and Goshen, sometimes illegally. I try to pull into the breakdown lane and let them go if possible, but if they came up really fast I make them wait awhile. Thing is, the road downhill between Goshen and Williamsburg is about 7 miles of curvy narrow highway, with not much of a shoulder. And there are a lot of log trucks, schoolbuses, old farmers who don't think the car has to go any faster than their tractors also traveling this route. I couldn't tell you how many times I've come around the bend into Williamsburg and seen the car that passed me 7 miles back only two or three cars ahead of me.
