    Why? Good grief folks live a little.

    Yeah the 30 minutes is something the lying #### drivers got us, but hell there is time you should be stopped just for your health and sanity.

    I rarely eat lunch. Sometimes I buy a sub and keep it in the cooler. And yeah, I can buffet going down the road. I wait until I am on the slab and traffic light.

    Shame on you. Drivers like you give the rest of us a bad name.

    Worry about yourself. No one knows how I take my breaks. How does that affect you?

    It affects me because I am a law abiding citizen and I have high moral standards.
