Speed limit....

[den9]

i go usually 10 to 20 over the speed limit depending on traffic, the only time i go the speed limit is when im on my phone, which i know pisses ppl off cuz it pissed me off when ppl do it.

when the conditions are right and im on a long stretch i go 35-40 over the limit, and when im goin to work in the early morning and the turnpike isnt jammed i go 40-50 over the limit, as long as im not putting any1 else at risk.

it pisses me off when ppl slam on their brakes around the slightest turn, 10 min ago some nut job stopped in the middle of swamp road to let some1 turn in front of them coming off a side street with a stop sign, i almost **** cuz it made no sense. there is no reason to slow down from 45 mph to let someone go, when they can wait 2 seconds for u to pass them

Driving at the posted speed limit is not the problem.

Driving at the posted speed limit in the PASSING lane is. Like I said before, there is no way in hell you are passing anyone by driving the speed limit on todays roads. It is called the passing lane, and whether or not you know of them you can be fined for being in the passing lane for too long.

Granted, I'm not talking about doing 90mph and expecting everyone to get out of their way. But if you're doing 70-75 on the turnpike someone driving 65 in the passing lane should be moving to the right.

ever since my speeding ticket... i go a max of 7 miles above the speed limit on most roads. others go up of course.... 95, 276, GSP, etc.

i usually go with the flow or 5-10 over it...comfortable speed unless its an unsafe area...school zones and such i stick the limit...i remember one time i was driving and there was an ambulance behind me with the lights on so i pulled over and let it pass...35mph zone i usually go 40-45...anyway this guy was going 30...and was going to an emergency...it took me every bit of patience not to pass him

slow drivers clog up the roadways when they sit in the left lane.

Amen- that leads to congestion and even slower speeds.

This morning I had a garbage truck going less than 30 in a posted 45...not picking up garbage on this street either. Then I had someone in an Oldsmobile (pretty sure anyone driving these shouldn't have a license) braking about a quarter mile before the red light with only one car stopped at the light.

A couple days ago an SUV was making a left hand turn out of a lot while I was making a left hand turn into the lot... I had the right of way seeing as how I didn't have to turn into the lot until I pass the SUV...well... as I'm turning the SUV decides to come withing inches on my rear end...this happend in the suburbs so, I kinda have my own way of describing how those people drive.

[SovXietday]

Boy, you know what I really really really hate?

People who drive automatic cars in traffic, that SLOWLY inch up at like .5mph. Every car I drive is stick, it is not possible to inch up without riding the clutch. Not to mention, my Action 2MD is on or off, I need to have the car revving to ~3000 at least or else the car will stall out. Can't ****ing stand these people, MOVE UP!

yeah its pretty pointless....I also think way too many people stop within like 2 ft of my rear bumper...like wft get off my ass...if you got rear ended you will hit me and it will be your fault that you were so close to me.

I hate when people run right through "stop" yield signs and they think there are 2 lanes...well if there was two lanes WHY THE HELL WOULD YOU HAVE TO YIELD TO ME. And then when its wuite obvious that they have no lane to drive in they keep going as if they do...wtf

[lownslow95]

you know what pisses me the hell off...is when someone is in front of me with the turn signal on when there not turning. WTF! it happend to me about a week ago. i was at the wal-mart in lancaster on 462, right by the advance auto. this ass hat was coming around the back way to find a place to park, and i was pulling. he had his turn signal on like he was going to make a right hand turn, which he was going to do. well he didn't. he decide to come at me, at this point i was already out making my left turn, and he almost hit me. he started to roll down his windo and was about to say some thing. my window was rolled down cuz it was a nice day, and i just went to wal-mart to pick up some stuff. i cut him off in saying "next time turn off your damn turn signal if your not going to make a turn asshole" and drove away.

[2point0T]

oooo...oooo.....I got another....

when you turn left onto a two lane road, it is actually illegal to take a left turn and end up on the right lane...its called crossing lanes and it is illegal...you must turn to the innermost lane (if making left turn enter left lane, if making right turn then you have to be in the right most lane) and then proceed to signal and then change lanes.

I know because when I was 16 and took my test the d***che bag of a guy failed me for that. This is especially noticeable at major intersection....all these idiots turn so wide when in reality you should be able to have to lanes of traffic turning onto a two lane road...but you have to stay aware to make sure they aren't going to cross the lane and side swipe you....got it? lol

[where'smyturbo?]

i hate when people neglect their turn signal. makes me want to clip their bumper. i drive an automatic, but i launch it (probably not good for the trans) and i go as fast as i can, without getting in trouble. just because i hate being stuck behind that one asshole.

[Z3R0]

I drop the tranny(slush box) into first and blowby those who are indecisive about the way they make their left turn.

[where'smyturbo?]

as soon as people flip on that signal, and even tap their brakes i go around them.

I try to wait until the are actually going to turn(to many close calls) but most of the time its obvious that they WILL infact change.

There is no LAW in PA that I have seen stating that it is illegal. A sign on the side of the highway isn't a law.

If you choose to tailgate/push/bully a person in the left lane for driving the posted speed limit....you should be hanged for attempted manslaughter.

Did daddy not love you enough or was it the mean kids that took your lunch money in school? Who's to blame for your thought process?

Theres two types of left lane intruders. Enforcers and Dreamers. Enforcers are like you. They think its their duty to block us fast drivers. Dreamers are usually old turds that are in LaLa Land and dont look at their rearview mirror..

Listen dude. I NEVER said that I drive the speed limit in the left lane, blocking traffic. I am just stating the laws. No need for personal blows here.

...and for the record, I was the one taking the other kids lunch money.
