Original Blog Entry: Driving too slow

emilyg — Sat, 31 Dec 2011 05:25:17 GMT

Sitting on the side of the highway waiting to catch speeding drivers, a state

police officer sees a car puttering along at 22 mph. He thinks to himself, This

driver is just as dangerous as a speeder! So he turns on his lights and pulls

the driver over.

Approaching the car, he notices that there are five little old ladies-two in the front seat and three in the back-wide eyed and white as ghosts. The driver, obviously confused, says to him, Officer, I don't understand. I was doing exactly the speed limit! What seems to be the problem? Ma'am, the officer replies, you weren't speeding, but you should know that

driving slower than the speed limit can also be a

danger to other drivers

Slower than the speed limit? No sir! I was doing the speed limit exactly twenty-two miles an hour! the old woman says quite proudly. The state police officer, trying to contain a chuckle, explains to her that 22 was the route number, not the speed limit. A bit embarrassed, the woman grinned sheepishly and thanked the officer for pointing out her error. But before I let you go, ma'am, I have to ask...is everyone in this car OK? These women seem awfully shaken, and they haven't muttered a single peep this whole time, the officer says with concern.

Oh, they'll be all right in a minute, Officer. We just got off Route 119.
