Passing

Dad always considered himself possibly the best driver in the world...

...now whether or not this was true was up for debate, but I do have to say nothing major ever occurred on any of the trips (See post for Sept. 9, 2009 "The Crash of 2009").

Inevitably we would encounter vehicles on the highway doing under 30 mph in a 55 zone. This would most always cause frustration with all the drivers caught behind the vehicle, be it truck, 90 year old's on vacation driving motor homes way beyond their ability, or arrogantly rude slowpokes. To this day I am surprised at the clueless behavior of some of these drivers not realizing their actions had an adverse effect on the highway. To his credit, Dad most always asserted patience, handling the situation as a challenge and treating his passing ability as an art.
