[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]People have both different driving abilities and different car abilities. My drivers ed teacher told me 30 something years ago that older drivers compensate for their slowing reaction times by slowing down their driving too. Which makes sense.

I’m in my 50s and [b]while I don’t go below the speed limit[/b], I do feel a difference in my reaction times and my distance vision, even though I have appropriate glasses.  Also I’m aware people are on their phones. So I am more cautious than just 10 years ago.

Leave a little earlier and save yourself the stress. [/quote]

The speed limit is the [i]maximum[/i] speed. In fact, the [i]maximum[/i] speed [i]under ideal conditions[/i].

You are [i]supposed to[/i] drive below the speed limit. By definition.[/quote]

Bullshit.  If you can't drive the speed limit get off the road.[/quote]

BS I rarely drive over a speed limit and I have never had an accident. How many accidents have you had speed racer?[/quote]

Actually you’re supposed to drive with the flow of traffic, which is usually about 10 above the speed limit on highways and 5-10 above on side streets, except for residential roads.

You’re that person who goes 55 on the beltway, right? Ugh.[/quote]
