Slow down and arrive alive

I live in Shelley and work in town. Too many times in bad weather, I've seen people pass me still going 100 km, even though the roads are horrible. I travel with my little boy who comes into town for school.

I live in Shelley and work in town. Too many times in bad weather, I've seen people pass me still going 100 km, even though the roads are horrible. I travel with my little boy who comes into town for school. There is no way I am risking my life or his.

So after the lights by PGARA, when there is only a single lane, I pull to the side of the road to let people pass whenever I can. I would rather do that then feel rushed because some idiot behind me wants to risk their life; is your life worth 10 extra minutes? I know mine isn't, so I don't feel bad if I can't pull over right away and someone is stuck behind me. My significant other is a volunteer fireman and he knows firsthand what happens to people who are in too much of a rush. Remember people, just because it says 100 km, doesn't mean you need to travel that speed.

Arrive alive.
