noun: mobility
the ability to move or be moved freely and easily
"this exercise helps retain mobility in the damaged joints."
I understand wanting the flexibility to move about as desired. I do. But I seriously doubt that definition encompasses careening down the shoulder off a heavily traveled road at peak traffic time! Contrary to what the driver may believe, they are NOT traveling at the posted speed limits. Not anywhere near. Certain people can run faster than those suckers move. They CAN, and probably HAVE/WILL get RUN OVER! It freaks me out to be stopped at a stoplight and see one cruising right up next to me. Waiting on the shoulder like they're gonna drag off and leave me in their dust as soon as its green. And it pisses me off to see one trying to cross the street. Especially a busy 4 lane street or a highway. They know damn well they can't make it in time for the light to change. But hell, they just go for it anyway. Once I gunned my engine, just to be a shit. Vrooom! The driver glared at me. And I giggled. But he kept on poking along. Like those little slugs from the movie "Flushed Away." (If you haven't seen that movie, you need to. Its pretty funny.)
