why is every driver like this?
They aren't. Just the ones with insecurities.
>I'm going the speed limitT. Going a whole 10 under the limit
>>28670304Because you are doing 6-10kmh under the speed limit in the fast lane to overtake someone doing 7kmh under the speed limit and I want to do 6kmh over the speed limit with my cruise control on and you make me cancel it because you don't use your cruise control and also can not maintain a constant speed.
I think it's more about the vibes your shitbox gives.Mine is a stock E46, otherwise only driven by retirees. So some people see the car and react as if I was pootling around, doesn't matter if I'm doing a little over the limit like everyone else
>>28670310Everyone gives my mustang space i have yet to be tailgate once in it
>>28670304>going the speed limit so i don't crash and die**actually getting on the freeway 15 under and almost causing an accident
>>28670314Why do they think this is safe to do? Every normie does it and the end result is a traffic jam at every single on ramp
>>28670311Honestly you may as well drive a rav 4 with how much people actually care about your mustang.
>>28670324It's a noticeable difference to when I drive my wives wagon, doing the same speed people tailgate the wagon and road rage.
>>28670306>>28670308>>28670314no i don't do that but people will still ride up my ass and blow past to overtake, sometimes with some yelling or the middle finger. i'm very conscious of my speed so as to not do just that. something about being in a car gives people an inflated ego and a sense of protection. i could kill these people with one arm tied behind my back but put them behind the wheel and they become unhinged psychos. it's weird.
>>28670334That's a rare thing I find 99% of people are normal and on 1% of drives i encounter a self entitled fuckwit who thinks he is more important than everyone else.The speed limit according to your speedo is well below the speed limit btw anyone who cares about times uses gps speed because 5 minutes wasted per day is an entire day lost per year.
>bad at merging all-ramps general
>>28670304I am a mopar chad. I’m incapable of going the speed limit.
>>28670323Then like 2 miles later they finally accelerate to the speed of traffic.
>>28670327Based polygamist
>>28670304>i drive the speed limit>no you don'tso what's the argument if the person is ACTUALLY driving to the t?
>>28670306>>28670308>>28670314how would you feel if OP was going the speed limit and you hadn’t eaten breakfast?
>>28670304you can go the speed limit outside of the passing lane
>>28671689Wouldn't mind. But they are never going the speed limit.
>I'm going the speed limit>t. speedometer trusterthey're set to read up to 10% higher than your actual speed. Check it with a GPS so you know how much.
>>28670334are they overtaking or undertaking you? that's an important distinction >i could kill these people with one arm tied behind my back>odd are
>>286703041. We have the same speed limits as we did in the 70s, yet vehicle fatalities are down 40%. Why is that. Because it's not about safety it's about the environment and saving gas. When driving my electric vehicle that produces zero emissions, I'm obviously better than everyone else so I can afford to drive faster and not destroy the planet any more than the next guy. 2. Rules of society are not made for the 99% who can think for themselves, they're made for the 1% of retards who cannot. If you live your life following the rules of society you're limiting yourself to the capabilities of the 1% of retards. So when I'm being held up by some "rule follower" who doesn't understand that my superior ev isn't producing any emissions, is safer than anything historically made available, and that i can outdrive 99.9% of the population on the mountain pass, i will overtake those slow drivers without remorse.
>>28670304All I want from the person in front of me is to accelerate in a timely fashion.Sitting at a green and waiting for you to move is fucking stupid.
>>28670304Probably because you're going the speed limit in the passing lane because you don't understand any traffic rule other than the speed limit. Scaredy-slowpokes love the left lane because it's away from the "scary" on-ramps. But the left lane is for passing only by law.On smaller roads, well, people normally drive 10-15 over and if you're blocking them they want you to drive faster. I don't condone such tailgating, just explaining it.
>>28670304It's a limit not a target. I drive around everywhere at roughly 50% of the speed limit because it's safer and I don't want to crash and die. Anyone who overtakes me is dangerous and risking their life and my life why are they so selfish and stupid.
going over 140 when nobody is looking
>>28672108>Anyone who overtakes me is dangerous and risking their lifeYou're either larping or you shouldn't be allowed on the road. I'm sorry, but driving noticeably slower than everyone else is more dangerous than overtaking.
>>28672108>Anyone who overtakes me is dangerous and risking their life and my lifeI have my exhausted aimed out the passenger side and it thumps against peoples panels as I overtake them on the left to remind them that the road is infact mine.
i don’t care, i’ll just overtake you. my car is much more powerful than yours and police don’t enforce traffic rules anymore so i’ll get away with it even if it means crossing double yellows. suck my cock. i see the impotent reaction in your geriatric face everyday when I pull this and it brings me utmost glee
>i dont overtake youim drunk driving and trying to keep a low profile>i overtake youim willing to go 3x the speed limit because i am insane
>>28672284> i’ll just overtake youAm I supposed to be upset by that? Overtake, slow down, change lanes, idgaf. Just don't tailgate me while popping a vein in my rear view mirror.
>>28670304I'm just stoned guy feel free to pass
>>28673167then why have this post be up? oh right OP is a faggot
Last year this guy was pissed that I was going <5mph over the speed limit so he crossed double yellows to floor it around me. Going the speed limit I caught up to him at every single light for about five miles, then he just ran a red.Kinda satisfying.
>>28670310Pretty sure this is what it is. I drive a Volvo, and people feel like their car should be faster than a Volvo, so I constantly hear them goosing it to keep up with me off the line while I'm sitting at 3k rpm. I also constantly see people not notice my car and almost pull out in front of me.
>>28670304You don't understand, OP. Everyone must speed. Everyone. Police no longer enforce speeding laws. Flow of traffic here is 85mph at 7:00, and jumps to 90 after lunch. It's not enough. The goal is to have the right most lane going 100mph. Only then will we chase the unworthy off our streets.TL;DR: Go faster.
>>28673224https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eOMB7GbnaeI
>>28671681There isn't one. It's just retards who think they're better than everyone else on the road so they NEED to speed. Then they'll cope about how it akchually is not breaking the law but driving the speed limit is.
>>28670304Just go the speed limit in the right lane and we'll get along fine
>>28670304>truck/large slow moving vehicle ahead>alright, time to go past>five other cars have the same idea>car at the front just hangs behind the rear bumper of the truck because if it dares to try passing, the truck will instantly flip on its side and crush the driverevery time
>>28670314>Is that someone coming up the ramp 10 miles away whilst the two lanes to the left me are clear? OH MY SCIENCE I have to step on it and get right on their bumper as they merge into the highway.
>>28671689Hungry and pissed off
>>28671948>>28675860Newfags
>>28670304Because speed limits are 30 km/h too slow to compensate for the lowest common denominator, and after driving for 35+ years without incident that isn't me.
>>28670304>takes right hand turn at 5mph>uses next two blocks to get up to speedHOLY SHIT IT'S ANOTHER HYBRID KEK OVER
>>28671665Only after getting in the far left lane, of course.
I exceed the speed limit by 5-10 mph unless it's a residential street and I still get people riding my ass. I drive a Corolla and it's usually timmies in pickup trucks with overinflated egos who think the world belongs to them.
>>28677795>timmies think the world belongs to themAnd they're right, shitskin
>>28677799Except it doesn't, you're like 10% of the world population and gradually becoming obsolete.
>>28670305I've literally been in a truck with someone when they aggressively cut someone off for no reason while saying "I'm bigger than you"
>>28670304COVID broke people's minds. Everyone drives like an aggressive asshole now. The other day I was being tailgated by a dude on a 500m stretch of 30mph county road. Nigger could not have saved more than 5 seconds, even if he wanted to go 60 around a 90 degree corner. I do think this shit permanently made people more stupid than ever.
I drive a Honda Fit and everyone thinks I'm going slow even if I'm going fast. Funny when they pass me and instantly get stopped by the car that was in front of me. More scary when they tailgate me and I'm going 70 in a 55.
>>28678002Nobody bothers to look more than a few feet in front of them, and that's why they're always surprised. I have been honked at for slowing down when it was clear everyone in a few hundred feet was stopped due to a massive accident. People are idiots. Drive defensively. My mom got her shit rocked in her Honda Fit when some faggot in a truck decided to just ram into her as she was crossing an intersection. Thankfully she had a dashcam.
>>28678098cell phones
>>28670304If your car is heavier than mine I don't want to be behind you.
>>28677795I feel like 5mph over is mandatory out of respect to our Founding Fathers, and 10 over in fair weather is simply common courtesy.I have never been stopped for these speeds so I think the law agrees with me.
>>28671689But he isn't, and I did have breakfast.
>>28670304>he believes in speed limits
>>28670304for me its>need to get over to a turning lane in ~1 mile or so>finally find a gap to change lanes in>activate signal, check blind spot, alright cool>slipping over slow and steady>person behind me in the lane i need to be in speeds the fuck up after 10+ seconds of steady speed to close the gap and try to lock me out of the lane>gets so close i cant see their headlights in my rearview mirror anymore>hands tossed up, motherfucking me up and down like i just randomly swerved over and tried to get him to PIT mealternatively>in bumper to bumper traffic>leaving a several car sized gap in front of me so i can just idle crawl forward and let people merge smoothly>get hi beamed/tailgated extremely hard because im not 50 ft aheadi genuinely dont understand these people that are in a hurry to go fucking nowhere. speeding is fun but dont act like a faggot about it and create retarded and unnecessarily dangerous situations>woooooooooow i cant believe i just got yelled at for going 50 in a residential>woooooooooow i cant believe they started changing lanes while i was swerving through traffic and couldnt see me and made my brains spill out on the road
>>28670310This. When i had the use learner plates i was genuinely shocked at how i'd have whole columns of cars overtaking me even when I was going over the limit.But once I got my licence they stopped doing it.
>>28678098I can't see past the car in front of me 90% of the time these days.
>>28678743once some lexus left a two-car gap in front of him, my lane was merging ahead into his and i was already going faster than he was, so i just merged in front of him only to hear his engine rev and him try to speed up and honk at me. further ahead once the road opened up i barely heard him call me a fuckwit through the closed window lol. always wondered why people piss themselves off over nothing
>>28678798actually, it might've been a semi-trailer sized gap rather than a two-car one lol. traffic was already flowing nicely so people were leaving larger gaps accordingly
