Just Keep Moving

         
                  Yesterday as I was driving to class, I was stuck in horrible back to back traffic. There's always traffic on the way to class, but it's never this bad. I thought maybe a lane was closed or that there was roadwork being done. Neither of these were true. There was just two cars and a police car with its sirens on, on the right shoulder. Of course, people had to slow down to look at what was going on. And others had to slow down because they saw a police car. I'm not sure that many people know that going below 40 miles per hour is also illegal. The cars were not even damaged. If it was an accident, it wasn't noticeable. I only was able to see that because of how slow the cars in front of me were moving. I don't get why people need to always look at what is going on. They need to stop slowing down the traffic for people who need to get somewhere and move along.
