When I was learning to drive, I was told to go the speed limit. Especially when driving on a military base! Military police are everywhere and getting a speeding ticket on base has more than just monetary consequences ie do it enough and your base driving privileges are suspended.
Well I've now been driving for almost ten years (crazy) and I'm not always great at the whole speed limit thing (*cough* lead foot). Here is my dilemma.
I now live on a military base.
And the speed limit on the quickest most direct way to my home from the gate is...
It is only 3.8 miles from gate to house and it feels like a very long trip. Because 2.2 miles of that is a very straight road that is 25 mph. I feel like I'm crawling. Cruise control has become my new best friend, my foot just doesn't feel comfortable at the angle required to go that slow.
Oh and military police don't follow the whole 7 mph over cushion.
Seriously they are everywhere.
PS - Steve read this and thought I was creatively telling him I got a speeding ticket. So far I have a clean slate :)
Yep- I'm with you Steve, totally waiting for the announcement of the speeding ticket. Hurrah for cruise control! Proud of you, girl.
