Driving back down to Cranberry Land I thought about the fact that once again I didn’t blog for the majority of the week. But really – there was nothing to blog about. Quite literally, nothing to write home about.
While driving I thought about different amusing things from the road trip that I could write about. Like a comment Uri made about a common road hazard sign that tells drivers the in the next X miles there might be deer*. The question that is – how do they let the deer know that they can only cross in the next X miles?
Another random road-trip thought was that, again, I find myself a knowledge gap about the little things in life. Here specifically – how much could I go over the posted speed limit without getting a ticket? And yes mom, I never ever go above the speed limit at all but, in theory, if I were to drive the speed of traffic, I would drive at least 75 in a 65 mph highway, and that’s in the right lane – the left lane in going 80 at least. In Israeli I feel OK with the 10% rule, and when I’m going over that, and risking a ticket I know it. But here? I tried asking someone at work and got the standard “no liability” answer: “Technically they could give you a ticket for even going once mph over”. Well, gee – thanks! I’m aware that of what they technically do, but what I’m asking is what they actually do!
When I started off writing I thought I would also write about work adjustment stuff, but as it turns out I’m too tired and I’m falling asleep. So have a good night everybody! I’ll be back tomorrow!
* While writing that pargaraph, I thought I would stick in a picture of that type of sign, but then when I looked for a picture I found that website, it was too funny to not put up.

When I did my long drives last summer I drove 10% above the speed limit and it seemed ok. I think if you're driving faster than 50% of the cars on the road then you're in the safe zone.
