I honestly don't care how others drive as long as they don't wreck me. I drive defensively. I try my best not to be an obstacle to others. I will yield to those who have a need to "be in front" of everyone. I will drive at what I feel is a safe speed no matter what the 'limit' is. I also avoid the interstates as much as I possibly can. Your welcome.
If only everyone felt this way but we still have those self-appointed cops that will make sure everyone falls into line. - fj12ryderExplorer III

Being proud of it? Where did that come from? I like to drive fast when I can do so safely. And fast is over 100 mph. If you say you like to fish, are you proud of it, or just a statement of fact? My statement was just that, not proud or ashamed, it just is.fj12ryder wrote:

you're insane for driving that fast. nothing to be proud of.

KEEP RIGHT EXCEPT TO PASS
Id think everyone having pased a drivers test and having license to drive would know and have common sense to do this even without the sign.. - BobboExplorer IIPlease remember that speeding is illegal. But, and this is a BIG but, so is impeding traffic. Notice that the impeding traffic law does NOT say it is illegal to impede traffic only up to the speed limit. If you are in the left lane impeding traffic, but telling yourself "it is OK because I am doing the speed limit," you are wrong.

Well, you won't see me after I pass you. I've not had a ticket of any kind in over 15-20 years, and that includes parking tickets. I think my last one was in the mid '90s. As you get older you realize where it's safe to go fast, and where it's foolish to go fast. And you develop a sixth sense for the presence of LEO's.fj12ryder wrote:
Yep, I have the mindset of an offender, and proud of it. Last time I looked those speed limit signs were mere steel and paint, not carved in stone. They're just reasonable suggestions. I do obey the speed limit where it is sensible to do so: congested areas, work zones, school zones, city surface streets, etc. But the wide-open interstate with little to no traffic? Not a chance.
No sense having a bike that will do 140+ and never get over 75.
DW and I LOVE to see people like you blow past us, and 2 miles down the road be sitting with a Trooper behind them. We laugh like crazy as we cruise by, and in NC. It happens a lot.
Me I set my cruse control at 5 MPH over (never said I don't go over) and just relax. Don't cringe when I see a trooper, don't hit the brakes. Just cruse on by.

Often you will see an RV in the fast lane impeding traffic.
Speed limit has nothing to do with impeding traffic, if there is an available lane to move right into simply move over. I'm not suggesting everyone speed. I'm just Suggesting no one and impede the traffic flow.
Becomes dangerous When all the traffic Starts to Build behind the impeding vehicle.Before you know it Cars are all swirling in and out and dodging about trying to pass one slow moving vehicle.
The driver of The impeding Vehicle Appears to bleed oblivious to all the swirling traffic.
It is for this reason impeding traffic laws exist.In the end slowing down The natural Flow of the traffic Is dangerous for everyone. - ken56ExplorerI honestly don't care how others drive as long as they don't wreck me.
