People dont even go the speed limit O_O

So normally i speed, so i cant really tell because im always going faster and just assume there going the speed limit

for various reasons speeding is out for a while, and while actually paying attention to my speed carefully i have found that 60% + of the time the people i was going past weren't even going the speed limit...

my rule is.........1 1/2 the speed limit...........

i.e. 30 mph = 45 mph

60 mph = 90 mph

Read what you wrote, its the speed LIMIT. That's not to say its the speed EVERONE SHOULD GO, its the maximum allowed by law.

For safety this is also a related speed MINIMUM, usually 15 less than the posted speed limit.

Just for information, that's all

I keep my foot to the floor until I feel I am being dangerous to either myself or the traffic around me.
