Smile Hero of the Day

I finally have my first hero of the day. Anyways I was on my way to work in an area I usually drive 50 in due to other traffic and it's the speed limit. Well I see a Jeep Liberty in front of me, I notice I am getting closer to it. So I let off the gas a bit. Turns out they were going around 47 MPH in a 50 zone. They seemed to be DWLing. Then I got to the point where it goes from 50 MPH down to 30 MPH. I go into N at my usual point and get down to 30 MPH right at the 30 MPH sign. It is then that I realize that the Jeep didn't hit their brakes to slow down. That means they must have NICE-on coasted down to 30 MPH. Or their brake lights didn't work (I did see them light up later when they took a left turn).
