<p>I consider myself a "fast driver" (if there's no traffic around, i'll be fine going like 15 over...not too bad). </p>
<p>Then again, sometimes it's hard to do the speed limit on the highways around here where everyone goes at least 10 over...i.e. the beltway. </p>
<p>Anyway, what are your general driving habits?</p>
<p>^I only have my permit, but I would consider myself to be a slow driver. The first time I drove, I got honked at three times:( I don’t go that slow though, usually I go around the speed limit, but I live in California so we have that “go with the flow” rule.</p>
<p>Finally got my license today. </p>
<p>I always go the posted speed limit. I figure that the government has some idea of what speed I should be going. Additionally, I don’t have $200 to blow on a speeding ticket and keep me from getting my after 9’s license.</p>
<p>^you just got your license…give it some time. </p>
<p>i don’t know about where you live, but around here there are a ton of roads where the posted speed limit is just like …COME ON!!!</p>
<p>lol, maybe i’m just a generally impatient person.</p>
<p>Well, they do a decent job around here with decent speed limits. Oh, but “advisory speeds” can kiss my you-know-what. We have a turn here that has an advisory speed of 15 on to a 55 mph road. I’m like, if I go 15 someone’s going to rear-end me. I do have to admit that when I first started driving at one point I made a right turn at an intersection at 45 mph. Nothing happened though =)</p>
<p>I’ll drive fast if the conditions allow. </p>
<p>And my dad drives close to 10-20 mph over until he approaches a police car. He has some device that points out where the police have their laser guns. It’s still legal in MN :)</p>
<p>I drive 5 over the speed limit, sometimes 10, as a general rule. On the highway though, I go 10-15 over to keep up with the flow of traffic. </p>
<p>I got pulled over for going 70 in a 50. Only got a seatbelt ticket though. I had my seatbelt on, but it costs less money than a speeding ticket, and I guess the cop felt nice.</p>
<p>I wish I could afford a radar detector.</p>
<p>You could just go the speed limit.</p>
<p>I go by my highway rule.</p>
<p>“Go slower than the closest person to you, and you’re ok.”</p>
<p>I go 5 over at most. There have been times where I’ve gone 10-15 over to pass someone who is driving slower than me, but whom I will not be able to pass before I get to the two-lane. </p>
<p>(When I’m driving home, the highway merges from a four-lane into a two-lane.)</p>
<p>I push it as far as the cops in the area allow without ticketing.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>ITT: guy who thinks he is badass. </p>
<p>Unless you live in a rural area where pigs don’t care, then go ahead. But you aren’t part of the MNC are you? Going 15 over is just ■■■■■■■■.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>That’s what she said.</p>
<p>Only have permit, and since getting more used to driving on the road, I try to be within 5 of the posted speed limit.</p>
<p>theReach…</p>
<p>thanks for judging me, but I’m not trying to be a badass. </p>
<p>I just feel like…if i can get somewhere a little bit faster, why not? (please dont answer this question, it’s rhetorical. kthanks)</p>
<p>On the highway I usually go around 75-80 mph if my parents aren’t with me. If they are, I usually go around 60-65 mph. On the backroads, I usually just follow the speed limit since most of the time the traffic is moving pretty slow. Also, they’re a lot of cops on the backroads, and since my car stands out like a sore thumb, I don’t want to get noticed.</p>
<p>^ Why does your car stand out like a sore thumb?</p>
<p>It’s probably yellow or red or something. </p>
<p>Anyone know the color or the most cars pulled over is?? is it red or yellow? I can’t remember but i think it’s red.</p>
<p>Yeah it’s red, so I have to be extra cautious. And I think you’re right buzzardsbay, red seems most common.</p>
<p>Approximately 5 over. On the interstate I go a little bit faster.</p>
