Are we really following the law? Some people may think that some laws are stupid and ignore them. Is that right? I have always been taught that the laws are in place to keep everyone safe. One law in particular that I am very adament about following, and others could care less about, is speed. There is a speed limit! It's not a suggestion, it's a LIMIT! That means you don't go any faster than the posted number.
There are some out there that would argue that it is not safe to go the speed limit. If you are not going with the flow of traffic, you can cause an accident. My arguement is this; It's not the people following the rules that cause the accidents, it's those that get road rage or swerve to cut someone off that they think is going too slow. Those that drive carelessly, without concern for safety or speed limits, are the ones that cause the accidents.
I have never in my life had more people honk at me, or give me obscene hand gestures, or cut me off and slam on their brakes, than when I started driving in Florida. I guess there is a different set of rules here.
I know this is a subject that I am probably in the minority, or maybe I am the only one that thinks this way. I don't care. I am going to continue to go the speed limit, or less. God will protect me. God will see that I am obeying the authority appointed over me. God will see that I have respect for that authority. God will keep me safe.
I choose to follow the rules. I choose to follow God. I choose to obey.
