Why is it that anybody driving slower than you is an idiot, yet anyone going faster than you is a maniac?

Answer 1

Because just like everything you see here; you're always right! YOU'RE going the right speed YOU don't follow too close, YOU always signal when you turn...YOU never pass on the right... YOU drive perfect. And I don't mean you, you I mean us, me. I'm a great driver, I go the right speed, I don't follow too close...

I love that you pointed ths out though'cuz it is funny

Answer 2

Is this a trick question?

Am I on Candid Camera? Punked? American Idiots?

"Why is it that anybody driving slower than you is an idiot, yet anyone going faster than you is a maniac?"

That's just the dumbest question I've ever see!

It just IS that way because that's the way God made the world! That's all there is to it!

Thats just THE WAY IT IS!

Answer 3

Michael Barnicle (born August 24, 1944 in Worcester, Massachusetts) is an award-winning writer and media personality based in Boston. He currently hosts a daily program on WTKK 96.9FM. Barnicle is a veteran newspaper columnist who has written for The Boston Globe, the New York Daily News and the Boston Herald, where he continues to contribute. He appears regularly on NBC and MSNBC, as well as on the television magazine shows Chronicle, Hardball, Scarborough Country, and Imus in the Morning.

Barnicle began his career working for politicians, including the late Robert F. Kennedy, soon after graduating from Boston University in 1965. He was a speechwriter for John Tunney's California Senate campaign in 1970 and for Ed Muskie and vice presidential nominee Sargent Shriver in the 1972 presidential campaign. In 1972, Barnicle appeared in Michael Ritchie's film, The Candidate.

In 1998, Barnicle was forced to resign from his position as a columnist at the Boston Globe amid questions about sourcing in at least two of his columns written three years apart. His columns came under scrutiny after a scandal at The Globe enveloped another columnist, Patricia Smith, who resigned after it was learned that she fabricated people and quotes in some of her columns.

The Globe then announced a review of past columns and more scrutiny going forward for all of their columnists. Almost 400 of Barnicle’s columns were reviewed, and all were found to pass journalistic muster. However, later that summer, The Globe’s rival, the Boston Herald, showed that some jokes in a Barnicle column were similar to those in George Carlin’s 1997 book, Brain Droppings.

Answer 4

There are limits here. You can go slower and faster than someone, but not have them think your an ******. It's all about following distances and how slow or fast their going....Too slow is always better than too fast...we all know that

Answer 5

Ask George Carlin.. he probabaly has the answer.. since he asked the same question 20 years ago..

And for the record.. it wasn't Iaccoca that said lead, follow, get out of the way.. It was Gen. George S. Patton

Answer 6

we tend to drive in a comfort zone, what you are happiest at, some one makes you brake thier foolish, you have speeded up to get out of thier way they are a maniac, there is no happy medium, my advise drive within the law, that way you cannot be held responsible for speeding on the way to a accident.

Answer 7

This isn't true!! It all depends on the person's mood. I'd be in a really crappy mood sometimes and say they're idiots but then again sometimes I go slow myself. About going fast, nothing wrong with that but whithin limits.

Answer 8

Good one. When somebody's going slow in front of me, looking for something, my first reaction is always to get pizzed but then I remember sometimes I am in a new place, dont know where I am and have to drive slow looking for stuff too.

Answer 9

This idiot thinks you make a good point. But being the slower one is cheaper, safer, and gives me less ulcers.

Answer 10

Because you are always going the right speed and you can only compare against how fast you are going.
