[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a reverse commute. Every day I get on the highway, situate myself in the slow lane, and chuck my cruise control onto 5 miles over the speed limit. Naturally, everyone on my left is going much faster than five miles over the limit. Whatever, not my circus, not my monkeys.

What irks me is the constant stream of people getting up my backside in the slow lane. It never ends, day after day, right up the bumper. How flipping fast do they want me to be going? Is there some unwritten speeding etiquette I didn’t get taught in Podunk, Ohio? [/quote]

OP, first, I would not speed, but I would also not use cruise control.

Second, after a fender bender, I took a defensive driving course and it was eye opening. Most people drive unsafely. Speeding is the #1 cause of accidents. There is a mentality that leads to speeding and aggressive driving. What people do not realize is that you have to have the mindset that all it takes is one second to change your life and/or the life of someone else forever. It is not worth to be at your destination a few second earlier. As a relatively youngish man and now a father I used to enjoy driving but don't so much anymore because of the way others drive, particularly with my two young children in the care. You have to be super vigilant.[/quote]
