Like you said your opinion is a sample size of 1, basically meaningless.

An opinion isn't worth anything to anyone if the reasoning behind it isn't sound ... regardless of sample size.

I'm curious ... what's the reasoning behind yours for going fast ... and what's wrong with the reasoning behind mine for going within the law?

You like going slow, it makes you feel all warm and fuzzy, and safer, even if you're not. I like going faster than you, it also makes me feel all warm and fuzzy.

And I am a scofflaw, I have been known to jaywalk, not wait for the lights to cross a street, take more than 10 items to the express lane at the supermarket, will sometimes run over my time on a parking meter and not add more money, I don't always voluntarily pay my sales tax for online purchases as all good droogies should do, I've been known to ride my bike the wrong way down a one-way street, I consistently run a 4-way stop in my neighborhood, I'm just not a lock-step kind of guy.

Honestly I don't consider all regulations equal. Speed limit signs should be correctly labeled as speed suggestions.

And, again, as far as the people who pass you unsafely, it's not the speed, it's the poor driving skills.

Incidentally, an opinion doesn't have to have any reasoning behind it, none at all. In my opinion 100 degrees is hot, some people don't feel that way, but they are entitled to their opinion.
