I want to know about that postal van, too. My truck is speed limited to 99mph, not sure why a postal truck wouldn’t be lower! ---

I’d like to know more about the reason for her prior 3 driver’s license suspensions too. As far as how fast my own truck will go, I’m not saying … lol . ---

Screw the Van, I want to know about the driver, she was so calm and collective and very nonchalant, like this happens daily… As someone that has never meat a ticket for speeding I did not deserve, she was a pro, I would be thinking I was going to jail… 🤣 ---

> [@It\_s-Me](#): > > Probably one of these I’m pretty sure that the postal van in question isn’t one of the old Grumman LLVs, as the _newest_ ones were manufactured in 1994. My neighborhood is extremely quiet, and normally the loudest noise is from birds–until it is time for mail delivery, at which time I can hear the Grumman LLV’s droning/groaning noise from at least 1/4 mile away. My _mail lady_ was stranded last year when her LLV broke down, and it took a couple of hours for it to be towed away.
