Driving 55 particularly on the interstate would be an excellent idea! I, for myself, HATE to ride fast, and have always resented being pressured to ride like a racecar whenever I get on the interstate. But it is either that or ride secondary highways all the way, more relaxing, but a bit long on a lengthy journey. The dilemma I have always had is if I ride a speed I am more comfortable with, somewhere between 55 -60, I am deluged from behind by obviously irate drivers who are pushing my bumper to either speed up or get off the road. I'm sure many of you know the feeling.
It would be a good idea to have these bumper stickers to let them know what you are doing. One idea I would propose is develop a flashing LED with the same messages as the bumper sticker. This would serve as a warning to slow and also to give them the message slowing down is a good way to save gas. Incidentally, I would also like to see these kind of flashing lights developed for motorscooters. I have been riding small motorscooters that get 80 MPG that can make 55 MPH easily, but not 65-80 at all. Flashing LEDs would be useful here. The bumper stickers would help, too.
Keep on slowing! John F. Bamberger
Thanks for the suggestion John. We googled "LED License Plate Frame" and found a few available that can be programmed with any message, they are a bit pricey at around $60, but still a great idea, especially for night time driving.
