Do you always obey the speed limit or do you never obey the speed limit?

Well the title pretty much says it all. Does anyone obey the speed limit. I know where I live if you do someone will probably shoot you. The spped limit on the Long Island Expressway, what a joke more like the LI parking lot at rush hour, is 55 yet if you go under 60-65 your gonna get nasty looks and lots of horns and lights. Everyone does 40 in a 30 .

I nearly obey.

It is for taking care of security of self and others, and for not risking not so necessary spending on fines.

The extra time spending is very small most times.

It is cheaper way to take care of security of self to drive careful than have huge SUV to drive quick.

almost relevant:
Colleague of mine, he getting all wild in eyes when I say I use cannabis. I say "why a problem to you"? He say "It is not legal

". Even threaten to report me to police

He get caught several time speeding, which is not legal. I never yet caught doing nothing

Usually. I have pretty bad road rage, though...

Bartix, from what country are you?

I generally do in a car, except on motorways, where in the UK the official limit is 70 (mph) but everyone does at least 80 minimum.

I find I get huge road rage if I try to beat prat drivers in London at their own game, and its much calmer just to do the limit, not weave from lane to lane in the hope of getting ahead, and so on. Usually you find the tit in the Audi TT who howled past at 50 in the tightest of gaps (usually talking on his mobile) is stuck at the next lights anyway.

On the motorbike its a different tale...

I usually do the limit- and I get incredibly pissed off when people run up to my bumper, or pass me speeding. I have een known to slam on the brakes to get them to back off, or yell at the passers- which must sound really wierd with Janis Joplin or Pink Floyd playing in the background. ("Geez... that's the angriest hippie I've ever seen.")

Very fast, but never rude or unsafe.

I feel the same way. People are always so close to my bumper, or passing me on double lined roads. Damn people...
