[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Someone posted pictures of my car (both on the road and in my driveway) in our HOA group because...I was driving 1 under the speed limit on a empty street (i.e., no kids, bus had already picked up, no one walking dogs, etc). This neighbor believes it's a bona fide limit (which is correct), and people should be driving at least 5 under, possibly 10, just in case. "Yes, no one else was out and about when I caught her doing this, but you just never know" is her argument. The neighbors all agreed I was going too fast, and now I'm persona non grata to neighborhood events and was muted in the group for 30 days to "learn my lesson".

This mindset baffles me. Does going 29 in a 30 really make me such a terrible person? I argued that if the city wanted a speed limit of 20, they'd have posted a speed limit of 20, but I was attacked.[/quote]

In a world where I see people routinely zip by at 10, 15, 20 mph OVER the speed limit, a 1 under driver sounds like a dream to me. [/quote]

Right. I could see if I was speeding. I'd be embarrassed, but I would own up to it eventually. But this? I feel like I can't win. I learned to drive in New England, and let's just say that driving 1 under was a huge adjustment for me.[/quote]
