JUDGEMENT ALLOWED Are you the kind of person who drives the speed limit regardless of how arbitrary it seems? Are you a “5 Under” kind of person? Do you stop at yellow lights? When you’re tooting along down a single lane route and you see a wide open road in front of you, and a line of cars a quarter mile long behind you, what are your thoughts??? Are you more concerned with safety or is it an anxiety thing? Genuinely curious about you all. I am a bit more of an assertive, speedy driver. I just kind of want to get into the mindset of other kinds of drivers. Judgement free zone. Jesustheastronaut! posted:I got probed for admitting this in the past...

If you drive recklessly you are a bad person. If someone driving lawfully and carefully causes an accident because other drivers are reckless idiots, it is for the greater good and one can only hope that the dangerous drivers involved get hurt more.

If you aren’t doing at least ten mph over the limit, get off the road

I feel absolutely no need to floor it to the next stoplight, the only thing it does is waste gas and increase the chance of getting into a wreck. Go ahead and floor it around me, I’ll be laughing half a mile up the road when your dumb rear end is in the wrong loving lane and no, I’m not letting you over.

The worst is when I'm on my bike and I just crested a hill to a technical descent and a car squeaks by right as the downhill starts and now I'm riding this doorknobs bumper for the next 5 minutes as he puts down the hill. I'm sure all sorts of cyclists make some drivers go insane but I at least do try to move over as much is safe and let cars by and not impeded traffic. Watching some other people and groups ride gives me panic attacks at how unsafe they are.

I drive in the leftmost lane at the exact speed limit. You should not be driving faster than me therefore you do not need to pass me. EDIT - This is unironic and I do this every day.

I drive fast but tbh other fast drivers complain about slow drivers but are without fail the ones who blow through stop signs in residentials with kids, drive past stopped busses, tailgate, don't understand how yield signs or zipper traffic works, and habitually cannot adapt to weather conditions and will still slam 70+ while it's pouring obscene amounts of rain. They're the guys who unironically think "I'm a good driver so I won't get in an accident" acting like they have complete control over the other 80 people in rush hour traffic who are clearly preprogrammed bots in a videogame thus reliable and predictable. So like, don't complain about slow drivers if you ignore literally every other law of the road because the slow drivers are by and large signifigantly less of a hazard on the whole. I drive fast as poo poo but I don't tailgate, leaving following distance, and yield, 90% of other drivers going fast as gently caress don't and actually don't have a legitimate "safety" complaint about slow drivers they clearly don't give a gently caress about that it's entirely sourced from impatience and massive insecurity when they can't impose themselves on others on the road. So tbh I'd rather be stuck with a bunch of careful, ponderous slow drivers than a bunch of fast drivers who complain about slow drivers because it makes it harder for them to drive like shitheads. If you complain about slow drivers but will weave from lane to lane in heavy traffic your complaints are basically like worth nothing. Same to people who passive aggressively refuse to signal. gently caress extremely old people though, they drive slow and dangerously as gently caress.

i knew a guy who would drive like 5 miles below the limit because "im not going to risk my safety so someone else can go faster" but then he also really enjoyed it when another driver would get pissed off about his slow driving so i think he was just a sadist who worked within the confines of the law

I drive for the city so yeah, slow af. Also people pass me all the time and I just catch them at the next red light. The city actually is working on an app for the main drag that lines out the status of the lights up ahead and recommends slowing down or speeding up to make the green.

People driving 45 in a 45 don't realize that for every car behind them has to drive 2 mph slower than the car infront of them to make up for variances in distance and speed over time. By the time you have 5 cars behind you the furthest car back is driving about 10 mph under the speed limit now and you're causing a traffic pile up. If the roads are clear and visibility is a good distance ahead you should be going the same average speed as everybody around you is able to, otherwise pull over and let someone qualified to drive.

I got probed for admitting this in the past... But I drive slow and don't like dealing with people merging, either. So I drive slow in the left lane a lot. Tbh most of my time driving is either listening to an audiobook or just deep in thought, so I never really pay a lot of attention to people passing me on the right or giving me mean looks. Driving is a place where I can catch a little "me" time. Like being on the toilet, but surrounded by people. Am I proud of it? No. But my blood pressure stays low, I've never been in or caused an accident, and I always get where I'm going.

being brown means that getting pulled over is an exciting game of life or death, so driving the speed limit means there's one less thing to pull me over for. ill sometimes cheat and drive 67-68 in a 65 zone because ive never heard of a cop pulling someone over for going 2-3mph over the limit. pigs aside, my car is old and it takes a while to zoom zoom zoom, and when it does, the interior is rattling.

I live in Montana where the speed limit is 80 on the interstate, it is actually pretty rare that people speed here. It feels fast enough. Every once in a while someone will pass me doing 10 over and there's usually a 50/50 chance I'll see them pulled over by highway patrol after a few miles

I drive a truck for work 3 days a week and I don't care whether you go slow or you go fast as long as you signal properly and don't cut me off then slow down to 5mph to take a right turn in front of me cause I weigh like 25k+ lbs in a 24 foot box truck if I'm loaded and one of these days someone isn't gonna be quick enough and get pasted and I'm gonna tell you right now I'm not gonna feel bad about it at all if you make dumb rear end choices and don't have an understanding of vehicular physics then you gonna learn that day.
