Speeding in a modern vehicle isn't that dangerous. A modern sedan can stop at 85 in the same distance an older sedan stops at 55.

The issue is unsignaled aggressive lane changes.


Though I think people who over use their brakes are worse than speeders.

You know the ones who see a brake light a quarter mile a head and even though no one is within 200' of them in front, they hit their brakes.

This causes a brakelight chain and slows down traffic.

Also most forget that if you drive slower than the limit you need to be in the far right lane. The middle lane is for faster drivers and the left lane for passing. Yet so often I see slow arse cars go straight to the middle lane.

I will purposely get in the left lane and block these idiots. They’re not getting anywhere quicker and become a safety hazard for everyone else in the road. I’ll block them off in a heartbeat to help keep the roads safe. SLOW DOWN!!!!!


That is a lot more dangerous than speeding.

As long as people keep their distance, don’t make dumb lane changes, or do anything else stupid (like running lights or passing in the shoulder) I couldn’t give a shite less about what speed they go.

This is why I don't speed but run every red light. It's science.

My goal is to pass slow idiots to minimize their affect on me. What they do after I pass them is of no concern to me.

Don't care if we all have to stop again at the next light. At least I won't be behind your slow arse anymore.

Why do people insist on riding your arse in the left lane on a city street when you have to make a left turn shortly ahead?

Some people have actual shite to do and drive with a purpose. Others drive like old people having sex.
