[JAGNUTS] 60 kph zones

[Tony Koschinsky]

Road trip?  Did someone say road trip?

When our legislation was extended to include tow trucks in 2004 there was a 
media campaign to inform the public, and there are signs.  But then I 
probably notice these things because I look for them.  I have noticed that 
when I slow down for these situations there are often drivers who do not 
hesitate to pull out and pass me at full speed.

First Ed was fortunate to have drawn the attention of a generous gendarme, 
and now he lucks out by having Bob buy him pie.  Life doesn't get much 
better than that.

Tony
