TLDR;

I set my cruise at exactly the speed limit or like 5 over....I have had too many damn speeding tickets so I police myself now...I have the shittiest luck and never get just warnings...it's just not worth it to speed anymore in my case...I WILL get caught..

I can't say I know someone who does this. I can say I don't know anyone in a Prius. They are the worst offenders.

I don't speed inside neighborhoods either. Don't feel like having to spend my weekend wiping a 5 year old's brain off the hood of my car.

In my experience, the most successful individuals I know are fairly calm and collected people who rarely, if ever, drive much over the speed limit.

Speeders are usually less educated, blue collar workers.

Had someone do this to me Friday but he was too late and I already made it in front of him. The dumbass looked like he wanted to punch the cop and shoot me when he found out it was his fault.

99% of mini van drivers need to be purged from society. they just make it way too difficult for normal motorists.

I only drive under the speed limit in certain towns where I know for a fact they will stop you for speeding if you're doing 1 or 2 mph over. And the only reason i'll do it is to account for the 1 or 2 mph their purposefully badly calibrated radar guns will add.

Besides the OT hard-asses who will respond that they can drive as slow as they damn well please...are there any other responses besides being uber-safe and uber-thrifty?

But them again I left early enough to compensate it into my schedule.

If you passed on the right it is partly your fault.

Different moods on different days. Sometimes I like to speed. Sometimes I like to go slow.. Sometimes both. I'm an excellent driver.

I must have been driving too slow ahead of a guy in a Corvette one day. He blew my doors off and cut back into the right lane just ahead of me and then brake checked me. And I mean checked me hard.

I drive a F-150. I don't think it would have worked out well for him if I didn't check up.

I did it yesterday. Was running along at about 55 in a 55mph zone. Some young woman comes flying up behind and follows about 15' off my bumper. I slowed down to about 30.

I use to sit at a green light until it turned yellow. Then go through.
