New 10 MPH Rules anger Some Drivers.

🚦 When Safe Drivers Get the Blame

This morning I’m sitting in a café with a cup of coffee, reading an article and watching traffic roll by the window. The posted speed limit on this stretch is thirty miles an hour. You wouldn’t know it by looking. Most cars and semi‑trucks are pushing forty or fifty, and the sound of Jake brakes has become part of the background noise of town life.

Pedestrians stand at the curb waiting for a break that rarely comes. I’ve learned to drive out of my way just to cross safely or get onto the highway using stoplights. I follow the law—usually a penny under the limit—because that’s what keeps people alive. Yet somehow, the folks who choose to speed are the first to complain about the people who don’t.

And here’s the part that truly breaks me up: the ones doing it right are the ones who get blamed. Safe drivers get honked at, tailgated, pressured, and treated like obstacles. Meanwhile, the people ignoring the law act as if they’re the victims of someone else’s caution.

It shouldn’t work that way. Responsibility belongs to the person breaking the rule, not the one following it. Safe driving isn’t the problem—it’s the cost we pay for other people’s impatience.
