In a surprising and unprecedented move, North Carolina has announced a new traffic regulation that is set to turn Sundays into a high-speed spectacle. Starting next month, the state will enforce a mandatory minimum speed limit of 45 miles per hour on all roads, effectively banning the leisurely Sunday driving tradition where people drive at half the speed limit.
The decision has sent shockwaves through the state, particularly among the slow-driving enthusiasts who have long cherished their Sunday drives as a time for reflection and relaxation. These drivers are known for their unhurried pace, often cruising at a serene 20 mph to soak in the scenic beauty of North Carolina’s landscapes.
However, the state government argues that this tradition has been causing undue traffic congestion and frustration among other motorists. “It’s time to put the pedal to the metal,” announced the head of the North Carolina Department of Transportation in a press conference. “If you can’t drive at least 45 mph, then Sundays are not for you!”
