Look at it as practice in creative ways to change lanes
Not sure if i care, i reach home in one piece and more fuel in the tank.
What is safer though? Driving the same speed as the cars around you or have all cars passing you at a higher speed? My guess is the former.
How high is your higher? If 20kmph/30kmph it’s not that much different, if a lot of you people is 60kmph over the speed limit and you expect everyone to follow, you guys should really consider slowing down as a whole. If you rear-ended people driving 120kmph, then i must say, skill issue, you’re probably not driving as safe as you thought you are.
No wonder the toxicity toward bicycle commuter.
I’d love it if most folks didn’t go 10-15kmph faster (which seems to be the standard where I live) than the speed limit, but I have no way of changing their behavior on my own. Me going the speed limit on principle might just make it even more dangerous for me and the rest who are speeding. It might be marginal but it adds up over time.

Blue piss
Look at this loser! He drank a bunch of water and peed in the lemonade pool!
I like to imagine he’s actively filtering pee out of the water by sucking it in through his ass and peeing out the filtered water.
Pee is stored in the balls and filtered in the ass.
Get a motorcycle, fuck speed limits
HELL YEAH BROTHER!
thanks for your organs
YOU CAN HAVE WHATEVER YOU CAN SCRAPE OFF THE ASPHALT! AAARROOOO!
Poor guy has blue pee
“Having a smoking section on a plane is like having a pissing section in a pool”
People don’t realize that the idea behind that whole campaign was to get people to start ostracizing smokers, and also make the smokers feel ostracized, so that less people would smoke overall. And it worked!
Maybe we should do the same for public pools.
Stealth pissing in the pool can be a bit easier than stealth smoking in a plane lol
Bro, if you don’t like it, just get out of the pissing corner!
Yeah… next thing you know you’ll only be allowed to piss outside on the pool deck
What limit? (said a German)
Tbf, this kind of eases the peer pressure. If everybody’s going as fast as they want, I can drive my comfy 110 km/h… Because that’s as fast as I want.
True. I prefer around 100 too most of the time. Though i also sometimes enjoy to pump it to 300. But it’s rarely possible. And beyond that i wouldn’t see happen considering how clogged it always is and how often slowpokes live in the leftmost lane and refuse to use the rear-mirror…
I’m from the UK and this isn’t too much of an issue beyond the couple of usual idiots. Went to the US though and it was insane, we were getting overtaken by school busses going 95. We were at the speed limit and getting overtaken by almost everything.
You taking 95 mph or kph? Because a bus going 60 mph in a 55 is pretty normal.
UK is MPH
Every time I go on a road trip here in he US, it strikes me how everybody seems to want to drive the same speed regardless of the speed limit.
Go 65mph in a 55 and I’m one of the slowest cars on the road.
Go 75-77 in a 70 and I’m one of the fastest cars.
It’s true. Cities set speed limits with the expectation that the average driver will be driving 5-10 over.
…when the speed limit’s 85 it’s pretty normal for traffic to move at 95; rule of thumb is less than ten over on highways and less than five over on surface streets…
Pff, whatever. If I’ve got a right hand lane to sit in and let people pass I’ll do 10km/h under the limit (90 instead of 100) and save a non-trivial amount of fuel.
The cost-benefit on that shifts a bit if I need to make a longer trip, but for my usual drives in the 100-200km range that’s an extra 7-15 minutes on a 1 to 2 hour trip, which barely matters.
It’s crazy when you see people speed and overtake like maniacs just to see that they reached the gas station 20 seconds before you do. I really think it hurts some people’s ego when they have to drive behind someone. “But but, i’m the king of the road…”
If I’m not behind you I don’t have to worry about you kicking up rocks onto my car, waiting for you to get off your cell phone at the light, I don’t have to slow down because you can’t handle taking a turn at the posted speed, ect. Yeah, I’ll be the guy in front using my gas for enjoyment and open road. If I cared about fuel economy, I’d drive a prius.
I just like to go zoom :(
That said, I slow down to overtake other cars, or around other cars in general.
Time is far more valuable to me than gas. I have no problem with people staying in the right lane though you can drive as slow as you want there. The people who are the problem are the ones who want to get in the middle/left lanes and turn their brain off that’s what causes traffic to back up. IMO police should enforce proper lane usage rather than speed. This would also stop traffic caused by everyone bunching up when they encounter a cop on the highway because they’re scared to pass him.
It’s gotten worse the past few years. Everyone acts like entitled asshats. Middle lane under the speed limit, hammer lane going the same speed as the idiot in the middle lane. Most states it’s illegal to pass on the right so you either break the law or you get to follow someone that thinks they’re more important than you.
The only time I actually experienced this was in the states. Lady doing 5 under in outside lane, big queue trying to get past by pulling in Infront of me (with space.) Had to push past my Britishness to undertake.
Yea, I’ve noticed it more since covid. I was on a fairly long interstate drive yesterday and there wasn’t enough traffic that I should have ever had to do anything beside set my cruise to 80 and go but instead I was having to adjust for about half of it due to people just hanging out in the wrong lanes and yea, there was a lot of passing on the right because they were pacing each other in the left two lanes. Even fucking semis were doing it and they should absolutely know better. It shouldn’t be illegal to pass on the right. It should be illegal to GET passed on the right. If that happens and you’re at the front of the line then you’re fucking up.
It should be illegal to GET passed on the right.
#💯
Totally agree. If it’s possible to pass somebody on the right, that person (the one being passed) is in the wrong lane for their speed.
I say that online and people get combative about it and throw out all sorts of insane scenarios like that changes anything. I still haven’t seen one that makes sense.
It’s amazing, really. Every time you see a pocket of congestion in the freeway, there’s a sedan in the front of it, leisurely driving in the middle lane like they’re the fucking president in their motorcade of one.
The only scenario that is okay is if they’re stuck behind a slower person in front of them and both get passed (assuming they would be going faster than the traffic in the right lane if they guy they’re stuck behind wasn’t there). It’s the guy at the front of the line who is the problem there.
It’s really not about you .
Or talking to “conservatives”.
Problem I have is I’m always going faster than the slow lane, so I get over to pass and of course I’m not going fast enough for those lunatics (don’t worry, I don’t block them, I get back over as soon as it’s safe). Half the time I end up giving up and going slower than I want too just because it’s easier.
…nothing at all wrong with passing slowly as long as you merge right afterward: lanes don’t have speeds, vehicles do…
The worst. Two lane roads always seem to end up as 5 under or 10 over. I just want to put my cruise control on!
