Work Zones!

I have a very long travel each day for work. It is about 40 miles one way, with that said I travel back roads and highways to get there. There is this one highway where there is some work being done on it. The speed limit in a work zone in NYS is 45 miles per hour. Now I understand the whole mad rush to get to work on time and ya maybe for some it is just a mad rush to get to work (they just love their job oh so much). But what I don't understand is why does it seem that every morning I am the only one doing that 45 miles per hour?

No one sets off on their day and thinks "I am going to speed though that work zone and get into an accident". I am sure that thought doesn't cross anyone's minds. However, I firmly stand by "My daddy works here" signs! Because its true they are peoples fathers, brothers, husbands, mothers, sisters, wife's and friends. I would had for someone to happy to someone in my family or a friend just because someone else was in a rush!

I ask that the next time you drive though a work zone you SLOW THE HELL down!!! How much time are you really saving by speeding though? And is the extra min to 10 minutes worth it to you and to a life??? I would sure as hell hope not.

Have the respect you should for others, slow down!
