I now drive exactly at the speed limit, causing traffic to pile up behind me as everyone else wants to speed.

😈

You can be an amazing and cool person who also drives the speed limit.

In fact, only people who drive the limit are amazing and cool.

I won’t even fault you if you’re going 5 to 9 miles over, as long as you leave enough room between you and the car in front of you.

People who tailgate are neither amazing nor cool.

I still drive the speedlimit on GPS measurement (and when available those speed measure points next to roads), but if some asshole is going like 20 over then I slow down to 1 km/h below on the dash.

I just put the speed limiter to the limit +2 km/h, why +2? Because radars won’t pick that small difference and drivers usually when trying to go to the limit they go a liitle bit faster and it’s annoying to have people pass you all the time.

I drive really slow in the ultra fast lane

While people behind me are going insane

Edited to say: I guess the lyrics of Denis Leary’s “Asshole” have been lost to the ages.

I use public toilets, and I piss on the seat

I walk around in the Summer time, saying, “How about this heat?”

I know some that claimed to like that song and did exactly what the song sung about.

Rhythmically it also works for Offspring’s Bad Habit

It IS satisfying sometimes watching some asshole try to weave in and out of lanes to get ahead in your mirror, only to just barely miss being able to cut you off and have to get in behind you.

Surprised this is getting as many upvotes as it is. It totally depends on context. I’ve seen posted 35 mph speed limits on 6 lane roads where every is going minimum 50mph, even with cops in the flow of traffic. I’ve also been on 2 lane roads (e.g opposing traffic is directly next to you) and the posted speed limit is 55mph.

If you’re doing the speed limit in the second one, well done. If you’re going 15-25mph below the flow of traffic in the middle or fast lane, because of a posted speed limit, that’s a problem.

If it’s a six lane, then me going 35 has no effect on all the speeders. dwi

I’ve seen people get pulled over for doing 60 in a 65 on a highway where everyone is doing 70-85, because it’s dangerously slow with only 2 lanes.

And it’s 6 lanes because of how much traffic there is, forcing people to weave around someone going 10-30mph below the flow of traffic is dangerous.
