Nobody is in a rush to get anywhere. I was on my way home from the office today, driving on a 100 series highway were people were doing 80 km/h in the passing lane! Maybe it is a good thing that nobody is in a rush, perhaps they will all live longer; they would have to to make up for how long it takes them to get anywhere!

The other thing that gets me is that people cannot maintain a consistant speed, do cars in NL not have cruise control? If you are going to do 80 km/h on a highway then do 80 and stay in the slow lane; don’t go from 80 to 110 and back every time you hit one of those limits… this is not a game of pong with the speedometer!

I think I would lose my mind if I had to make this commute everyday. I like my Halifax highways.
