“They’re a bad idea. There’s no safety involved with it. When a vehicle behind you is going 10 or so miles faster than you, that vehicle is in peril.”
EDDIE SMITH

Dandy Service Corp.
“I hate them. They’re unsafe, and just the idea that we’re the lower speed isn’t right. We should be allowed to run just as fast as those 16-year-olds.”

“I hate it, especially in California where it’s 55 and 75. It causes a lot of accidents. Those cars are going 90, and they rear-end us because we’re going slower, and then it’s our fault.”
