A Laid-Back, Totally Non-Road Ragey Note To Drivers In L.A., Yo
The following is a public service announcement from your friendly neighborhood frogg.
To those who are going below 65mph on the freeway, please take a moment to look at the posted speed limit signs. You'll be able to read them just fine because no way are they going to be a blur at the rate you’re going. So you will see that they say 65mph. Consider what this may mean, not just for you, but for everyone on the road with you. Especially those who are stuck in the huge line of cars stacking up behind you in the fast lane. Which, by the way, you shouldn’t be in.
To those who are going exactly 65mph, you may be interested to know that you have a 5mph leeway. This is not written in any "official laws" per se, but we all know it. Except you. Until now.
To those who are conscientiously going 5mph above the posted speed limit, please take a moment to get out of the fast lane. You’re going too slow.
To everyone using the L.A. freeway system — the fast lane is the one on the LEFT.
I realize all this may sound a little more like a diatribe than a public service announcement, but I don't care.
Thank you for tuning in. Back to your regularly scheduled day now. With kisses, of course, from the frogg princess.

A friendly announcement from the Highway Patrol...or, honorary Highway Patrol...or, maybe just a paranoid Mommy driving on the road. Speed Limit does not mean Minimum Speed. It means the FASTEST you SHOULD be going on said road.
Yup, that's me you're stuck behind...huh...I'm being tailgated...easing up on the gas pedal. *snicker*
