Raise the speedlimit.Correct answer is
I donāt want to go faster than 65-70 I will just hog the right lane. I get best efficiency at the current limits. This chart does make sense, follows what Iāve seen entirely.Raise the speedlimit.
You mean, other drivers are creating a potential hazard by aparoching a vehicle ahead of them at a speed that is inappropriate, as dictated by the sign on the side of the road.If traffic is going 40 + Mph faster than you, you are a road hazzard.
I agree to certain point.If traffic is going 40 + Mph faster than you, you are a road hazzard.
The problem is they rarely stay in the right lane. They park in the left lane and block traffic.While I'm sure your reaction time is fine think about the mentally slow people... let them stay in the far right-hand lane and get through life.
Happened to me today... I'm in the left lane and guy in a white very small toyota came over to left. The other lanes were free!!!!!The problem is they rarely stay in the right lane. They park in the left lane and block traffic.
We just donāt feel the need to rush everywhere. I enjoy my drive comfortably and economically, I leave few mins early and always arrive on time.Happened to me today... I'm in the left lane and guy in a white very small toyota came over to left. The other lanes were free!!!!!
I went around him... on his left - not something I wanted to do.
I swear most people who drive slow are also mentally slow. I feel sorry for them.
Thatās probably true. However, thereās a LOT of people who drive at speeds that donāt even vaguely reflect their ability.I swear most people who drive slow are also mentally slow. I feel sorry for them.
That's kind of the point I was trying to make earlier - we drive in "mixed company" - drivers of varying ability. I am sure that many, if not most, drivers do not understand the PHYSICS of driving and how their particular car will react in different situations. Simply applying the brakes is a vastly different experience at 90 vs 50 mph. Speed limits need to take all of this into account, too.Thatās probably true. However, thereās a LOT of people who drive at speeds that donāt even vaguely reflect their ability.
I sat in a room of nearly 50 people a while back, listening to a crash scene investigator tell his stories. The idea being that he shows us the basic process of how easily people can die in a crash, the court process, the lives of those involved after the crash etc.
By secret ballot, he asked people to rate their driving from 1-5.
1 being well below average, 3 average, 5 well above average.
80% of the people rated themselves as above average, 10% well above average, 10% average.
Clearly that doesnāt work.
Worse than that, Iāve been in a vehicle with most of those people and Iām here to tell you that at least half of them are FAR from what I would describe as āgoodā. Several I would rate as ābarely competentā yet strangely they failed to report that in the ballotā¦.
Your honor, why should I be punished for shooting someone when they shouldn't have got in front of my gun.That makes you the dangerous driver.
Hahahahahaha!If it was not safe people would not drive 80 to 85 on the freeways. The limits are set low for one reason, revenue.
