But this is an actual fact... People who drive under the speed limit are bad drivers. Either they are not paying attention to speed signs, or they are scared to drive a car. Both are not great for a driver.
Also slow cars are causing accidents because they frustrate people into doing stupid things.
At least people who drive fast have confidence in their abilities to read traffic. But its also stupid if they drive way too fast and cant handle it. That also causes accidents.
So I would say, a bit faster than the speed limit is perfect. Doesnt annoy anyone, still very safe. I often drive 10 km/h faster then speed limit.
You need to balance that against winding UK country roads, which are a 60mph limit in theory, but in places are a single lane wide and full of blind corners, lined with unyielding stone walls and trees.
What they really mean is "we don't care if you crash here because you'll probably just kill yourself".
Yeah of course, you have to understand when you can drive faster. Not on those roads.
I was in madeira and there they have these very narrow roads, and people drove like crazy there. I was actually under the speed limit on those roads and thats unusual.
I am okay with someone driving slower than me, in the right lane with their hazards on. But if you're just going 49 in a 55, what? Are you early for your diaper changing appointment at the VA, O veteran of the Spanish-American war?
Not where I live, but I think it depends. In madeira it was absolutely too high.
Obviously the speed limit is not perfectly set in all places. If you have travelled and driven a car, you quickly realize this.
People are absolutely not reckless drivers because they go 10 over the speed limit, as a general rule at least. But like I said, depends on the country a lot.
If he's bigger than me: Yeah probably. I get off my ass to rake the yard or build furniture, I don't work out.
If he's richer than me: Yeah it's almost certainly via white collar crime. I live below my means, I'm the son of an IT professional, I went to college on a grant and I taught flight school before I worked in a rapid prototyping lab. I've worn blue and white collars. I've written C++ and run a lathe for my pay.
If he's smarter than me: That's easy to believe with my 3.3 GPA. I was an honor's student looked down upon by the AP and IB kids.
The man who looks better than me probably owns a mirror. I wear navy blue T-shirts and black gym shorts as a daily uniform because they're easy to launder and I shave my neck because a neckbeard bothers me when I'm trying to sleep. Do you want your Lycoming overhauled or not, because I went to mechanic school and you didn't. Thought so, that'll be $30 grand.
I don't shower as I don't want the females to think I am gay. I don't read, study, or try so I am not a nerd. I work a deadend job to prove I am "self made". I avoid the "roids", the gym, and exercising, which saves me so much time.
There will be some poor bastard out there who is being bullied by a guy that is on roids that he pays for with daddys money, and is a total nerd who keeps on bragging about how awesome he is at sucking cock. And none of us believe him lol

this kind of thinking literally kills people, you're not doing good, you're a reckless driver.
The speed limit is the speed LIMIT, it's not a fucking suggestion, and in most cases the speed limit is too high.
