Slow Drivers.

Recently I have read many letters regarding traffic congestion here in Kelso/Longview, the new speed bump frenzy and traffic lights that leave our city in a clustered mess. I would like to add my two cents worth as to those that I feel are exacerbating this situation even further.They are the phlegmatic, lethargic drivers that are forever clogging our roads. No matter where I drive in this town, I am usually behind someone who feels more comfortable driving 10 to 15 mph under the speed limit. Since most of the roads here in town are two lanes, you are at the mercy of these slugs. Coming across the Rainier bridge, I've seen drivers with as much as a football field of distance between them and the car in front of them. This is what causes accidents. If you are a driver, and find that where ever you drive you seem to look more like a caravan with you leading the pack, I would say you're driving too slow and frustrating allot people. Pull over, allow the 100 people behind you to finally move at the speed limit thus unplugging the traffic jam and then resume your travels. If you cannot see the 100 people behind you, then I would say you are too old to drive and should hand in your license.
