I can drive 55

[thecreeper]

well, i've come to the conclusion that aside from my early driving tendencies, that I am a lot slower driver than I used to be. It doesn't mean I am any better of a driver (just hit raub's car last week), but finally after getting 4 speeding tickets between the ages of 17 and 19(65 in a 50, 45 in a 25, 83 in a 65, and 95 in a 65), I find myself almost normal now.

I mean, I don't even have points on my license anymore!

discuss your driving/speed problems here plz thx.

i find myself driving like a grandma a lot lately.

on the highway, i'll do anywhere from 10 to 20 kilometres over the limit--usually around 100 km/h in a 90 km/h zone, and around 115 or 120 km/h in a 100 km/h zone. but around town, i drive slow. ::shrugs:: i like to drive around city streets and listen to tunes.. it's relaxing. sometimes i even find myself going a little slower than the speed limit on some streets because i don't really pay attention to how fast i'm going while i'm cruising around.

but highway driving is boring because it's basically a straight line all the way to whereever yer going and there's never much to look at because the speed limit's high and you can't take it easy enjoy the scenery/wilderness/whatever is in the area which you are driving through.

Heh, how'd you manage to hit raub's car?

I drive the speed limit in most cases...but, I drive for a good chunk of my living, and when I'm working, I drive somewhat aggressively, gotta get to those cable calls on time afterall. And by aggressively I don't mean shoving other vehicles off the road...I just mean that I have to keep at it, I'm a target with all the decals on my van, people see it and figure they could make a quick buck, so I have to pay damn good attention.

Interstates around here are either 55 or 65, depending on which ones, plus there's "backroad" highways, I'll cruise in some parts of them at 80 depending on the time of day, and if I find myself in a pack of cars, we'll do about 80-85 in the 55 zone and fly through the small towns at 55-60. (This is in my car, I don't do but 5-10 over in my work van).

So yeah, again, how the fuck did you hit that car?

[raublekick]

how did he hit my car? he was backing out of his drivway and didn't maneuver enough. the best part was our friend art sitting in the back yelling "stop. stop! STOP!" bump. crack. broken turnsignal cover. it was a fun time had by all

[thecreeper]

BS! I heard "yo zach!"

CRUNCH

"stop!"

d'oh.

On highways I'll go up to 10 miles over the limit, or with traffic, which could be 10-20 miles over the limit. In neighborhoods I go the limit and take it easy.

Best Speeding ticket: 80+ in a 35 School Zone (had to go to court for that one) Thats back when I was 17.

Only other speeding ticket i've goten was 72 in a 60 zone.

I tend to drive 5mph over the speed limit. Some times more depending on how i feel.
