Nobody was going the other way, and it wasn't a no-passing zone or anything, but the driver behind me refused to pass. I turned after about a half a mile and I noticed he had a bunch of cars stacked up behind him. I don't get it.
That's a situation I keep running across lately. It's freaks me out having a car follow me just creeping along with no reason for not passing. Another thing brought to my attention lately is that 2/3 of the population is not in their right mind. Meaning they are on some type of mind altering substance, whether it be alcohol, illegal drugs or prescription meds. Give them a cell phone and it's a miracle that we don't all get run over.
