Or we could set up the photo-radar on a mountain road just past
a turnout and have it photograph vehicles going below the
speed limit. The number of vehicles stacked up
behind it could then be counted, and if it was excessive a citation
could be mailed to the pokey driver for failing to heed signs saying
"slower traffic use turnouts". :-)
Repeatedly getting stuck behind such drivers when house-hunting
(once all the way from Boulder Creek to Saratoga) is why
I eventually opted for a Highway 17 commute instead of a
Highway 9 commute.
