Do you obey the speed limit?

Or are you a lead foot? C'mon be honest. If you drive like a maniac and weave in and out of traffic, or if you're a prude and stay in the fast lane at the speed limit and try to dictate to others "go around if you want to go faster". For me, it's usually 5-10 miles over the limit on the freeway, but I obey residential signs because of children possibly in the vicinity.

    i almost always speed (about 10mph over the limit)! and i HATE it when other people on the road try to act as a pace car (driving in the left lane, doing the speed limit right next to the person in the left lane)!!! it also annoys me when people get mad (honk, flip me off, etc) for simply passing them. if you don't wanna be passed, go faster. :-)

    I thought the speed limit was just a suggestion. Haha.

    I'm on island time. I have nowhere to be in a hurry. I give myself enough time to take it easy and jam out to the Bobs (Marley and Dylan).

    Yep I knew I could pull the speeders out! What I've also found it that your driving habits usually equate to how you lose weight in most cases. If you speed, you want instant results. If you're a slower driver, you're okay with slow progress. Of course this is my own observation.

    I speed so that I can get home quicker and resume not caring about starving children in other countries.

    I go as fast as I can until my radar detector goes off, I cruise at 80 mph & I stay as far ahead of others as I can. My license plate number is.....

    I drive a GTI. Yes, I always obey the posted limit.


    I think the best line I've heard that describes people's attitudes towards speed is :

    Everyone who drives slower than me is an idiot. And everyone who drives faster than me is an f'ing *kitten*.

    I always speed, but I'm slow and steady when it comes to weight goals.

    Super lead foot here. Always TRY to obey the speed limit, but my impatience gets the better of me everytime.
