First off
my friend commutes Tuesday through Saturday into downtown on the harbor 110 freeway. Due to the fact that there are very few people on the freeway early Saturday morning
he is able to cruise at eight zero mph... even to the point of setting the cruise control to eight zero... so I,
I mean he was thinking how funny it is in a society of seat belt laws and such that our cruise control on our cars can be set to above the speed limit!
He also made the observation that
his car seems to have a magnetic shield when on cruise control because as
he approaches other cars on the freeway they seem to increase their speed as
he approaches them then once
he passes them they drop back to doing their original speed.
Also some time back Los Angeles (or California) passed a law that cell phones can only be used by the operator of an automobile with a hands free device. However daily I see people on the freeway driving with one hand and a cell phone stuck to their head.
AND YET it is common to see people walking in the park or on the street waving their hands about and apparently talking to them-selfs until you notice that they have an ear-bud in and a cell phone clipped to their belt.
People are funny.
