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?
Also, anyone who drives faster than me is a maniac, anyone slower is an idiot.
