"Not to say too much"

We shouldn't say too much". His mobile phone stuck to his temple, he moved his machine at the slow pace that this snail-like operation imposed on the drivers of trucks and motorists prisoners  for long minutes of these surprise traffic jams and always in solidarity with the angry farmers.
