"The one thing that unites all human beings, regardless of age, gender, religion, economic status, or ethnic background, is that, deep down inside we ALL believe that we are above average drivers."
-Dave Barry
I am a commuter, driving from Conway to Little Rock and back again daily. Along the route there have recently been planted a series of electronic highway signs designed to alert drivers to changing road and traffic conditions. You know, something like "Yes you are driving a four-wheel drive pickup but it is clearly snowing and you are rapidly approaching an extremely icy bridge. Slow your stupid ass down before you skid and take out the nice people in the minivan next to you."
Okay, they actually say things like "Warning, traffic slowing ahead" and "Drive Safely: Buckle UP!" Still, the general intent is there. Slowly there is also an approaching construction project which will widen interstate 40 to three lanes each direction. This gives me migraine headaches just thinking about it. I can only imagine the utter chaos that will ensue for the duration of said construction.
Anyway, new snazzy high-tech signs. Look for them, but please only if you are in the passenger seat.
