Sloth Kills!
< ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------->
We've all heard the platitude "Speed Kills" - well, that's a lie! It's not speed that kills, it's SLOTH! Slow drivers who stubbornly refuse to yield to faster traffic (as required by law) are the primary cause of road rage. Normally safe drivers who are stuck behind these retards of the road become frustrated, then enraged, and may decide to take unnecessary risks - such as attempting to pass the sloth in violation of a no-passing zone. The injury or death to innocent motorists that results is caused DIRECTLY by the sloth driver.

Sloth drivers are especially common in areas where "Snowbirds" (retirees from snowbelt cities who spend the winter months of each year in warm places like Phoenix or Miami). This gives rise to the term "Slowbirds" as these doddering old Russell Weller wannabes slowly prowl the roads, (unknowingly) in search of their next victims.

Not all sloth drivers are old, however. Some are just arrogant, self-righteous young(er) people who like to play traffic cop and block the passing lane, forcing "those evil speeders" to slow down. But no matter what the cause, the results are the same: carnage and death to innocent motorists and pedestrians, the root cause of which is the slowpoke driver. The worst part is, when these accidents occur, the sloth driver steers slowly and carefully through the wreckage and is long gone before the police arrive. When the official reports are filed, the cause of the collision is listed as "speed-related" - skewing the accident statistics.

It's high time the true cause of all this death and destruction was recognized and dealt with!
