Do you always go the speed limit when driving?
In small towns, I do the speed limit. In larger cities, I will go up to 5mph over. On the interstate I will go up to 10mph over the speed limit, however I usually set my cruise control at about 7mph over. Am I pushing my luck? What do you think?
I do not drive the speed llimit. I find I drive too fast . Not good.
I'm not a hotrodder but do go with the flow of traffic. If everyone is going a bit faster, then it is better to keep up they say. It's even been argued that the faster more agressive drivers actually help the flow of traffic....of course that is until they go too far and cause an accident. Not advocating speeding, just thought these were interesting studies.
Inside the city limits I always try to going the speed limit. Outside the city limits I am a lead foot. I do the speed limit + 5 miles per hour on the freeway. Tickets can be very expensive.
Around the DFW area if you don't drive with the traffic flow they'll run you off the road.
The Frog
In (very) short, no.
However in school zones and neighborhoods I ALWAYS do.
I'm usually 5 MPH over maximum. I don't drive to fast because I don't want the extra drama of having to weave my way through traffic.
I also got two speeding tickets, about 18 months apart from each other, a few years ago. I would rather not donate my money to the California highway patrol retirement fund anymore.

Okay, you're driving on a freeway in a light rain with some traffic, but not too much. The speed limit is 70 mph and you're doing about 72 mph in the "fast" lane when you see a police car coming a bit fast behind you - no lights on. Do you immediately get out of that lane to let the...

Why do people who drive giant pickup trucks tailgate and speed?I often see people driving extremely large pick up trucks and more often than not they're in the left lane tailgating and speeding. I have often wondered if it's simply the personality of people who buy these large trucks in the...

If you were a sign, a road sign, which one would you be and why?In find that in creative writing you don't need much inspiration, one line must be enough, even one word. I used to ask people "What sign are you?" until I got that one "STOP". The guy was very funny -...
