Remember when I received my first drivers license, a long time ago … somewhere in the literature there was reference to the distance between vehicles … one car length for every 10 mph (?), example 50 mph, 5 car lengths between you and the vehicle ahead, I thought. I guess that is impossible in many situations today with crowded roadways, however, ‘ticks’ me off for someone to ‘tailgate’ about a car length behind me, especially on major roadways, with little traffic and for miles at the time, especially late night.

I love living in Bladen … my favorite place on earth.
