Do you obey the speed limit?

Do what you want in the right lane, but if you're in the left lane, and you have cars behind you, you're in the way. You're just being a **** if you're holding up other people. Move over--they shouldn't have to pass on the right because you have no sense of etiquette or common courtesy on the road. (I have a 1.5 hour commute each way, so things like this REALLY irritate me).

You are all a bunch of ****ing wankers, seriously, the limit is there for a reason! If you think speeding is cool you clearly just need to buy some car games on xbox to act out your deluded car chase fantasies. 10 year old boys think speeding is cool, grown ups should be able to appreiate the need for the rules. And yknow, if you need to get somewhere fast, just leave earlier, simple! It's not about "oh but there so much space in the road I can take over easily" half of these rules are in place because you have a better chance of survival in crashes at some speeds than others.

It won't kill you to follow the speed limits, it might kill you not to.

well said

My job is 50 miles away, been doing the drive 5 days a week for 8 years now, and it usually takes me about an hour to get there. So on the highway, I am always speeding. Speed limit is 70, I do 85 - 90. I noticed that it keeps me alert, because when I drive slower, I notice the things on the side of the road and get distracted. I don't weave in and out, or cut people off, unless there is an idiot in the left lane cruising who refuses to get over in front of me. I am known for my fast driving in the family. So far no accidents, no tickets in several years (the only ones were for 65 in a 55 and running a stop sign that was blocked by tree branches smh). Counting my blessings, but since I'm a careful speeder, I don't feel bad about it.

I seem to collect points quicker than Man Utd, so yes I guess I do, although I am a much more careful driver since the birth of my daughter.

I usually go 15 over lol..

I think it's cute how you would change your mind if I let you drive my car.

And you don't even know it! Oh, it's so adorable!

I could just pinch your perky little cheeks!

I have a lead in my foot... I easily go 80 MPH on the freeway but that's easy to do here in AZ especially on the 202 in the Gilbert area.

if this was posted on a UK board, the answers would be quite different. While of course people still speed, you wouldnt get people gloating about it etc mim sure, or even really admitting it as much

I realise that most of you who have posted on this thread don't care about the possible consequences of speeding, or consider yourself immune to the possiblity... but some of you might find this information from WA Police interesting:


The impact of serious injury on our community goes well beyond the statistics reported in the media. It is an extremely sad fact that the effects of serious injuries in road crashes are very far reaching and long term, not only for those directly involved, but also for their loved ones. Serious injuries often lead to ongoing medical problems for the individuals injured. They can also have significant impacts on the injured person’s family and friends.
Of course, the consequences of serious injuries are not only physical and emotional. It is estimated that each serious injury has a financial cost of about $425,000.

Even if the primary cause of a crash is not speed, a crash in a slower vehicle will be less severe. Your chances of surviving and avoiding injury are greater the slower you are driving. The chances of being in a crash approximately doubles for every 5km/h over the limit in a 60km/h zone. For every 1% reduction in average speed, there is on average a 3% cent reduction in casualty crashes.

In a crash, it is the amount of kinetic energy that is imparted which causes injuries or death. This kinetic energy increases exponentially with speed.
A doubling of speed is not equal to twice as much kinetic energy, but rather a substantial increase much beyond that and it is much more lethal. A 20% increase in speed is roughly a 45% increase in kinetic energy.

I never go faster then my car will let me

I am a total led foot, left lane driver and borderline road rage-a-holic at times.
