    At least where I’m at, I think it’s more dangerous to drive the speed limit on the highway than to go 10 over, just because of other drivers. Driving the speed limit makes many other drivers lose their goddamn minds and drive insanely unsafely just to get around me. It’s wild the things people will do just to get to their destination a minute or two faster.

      I’m not responsible for other people’s anger issues. As long as people take this stance we will remain in the endless shitty cycle of people feeling like they have a good given right to drive 10+ over on any road, be it an interstate highway or a residential road where kids are playing.

      I’m always afraid of getting rear ended if I get stuck behind someone. All it takes is two people late on the brakes to ruin my life. But of course I’ll try to plan ahead and pass safely instead of losing my mind.

        I wish people wouldn’t do this. Even in the pouring rain with low visibility you’ll have some absolute bellend think it’s appropriate to be less than a car length behind you when you have nowhere to go and I’m sure as shit not going to drive unsafely just so they can get home 2 mins sooner. Wankers.

      Just keep right and you can drive as slow as you want. People start doing crazy shit when they have to weave in and out of slower drivers who are in the left lanes but not passing.
