why don't they just go around how can one be okay with illegal speeding but not illegal passing?

Speed limits are 30 km/h too slow to compensate for the lowest common denominator.

You know impeding traffic is illegal and dangerous right? Why do you think all those KEEP RIGHT EXCEPT TO PASS and SLOWER TRAFFIC KEEP RIGHT signs don't apply to you? Post your hands.

>>28859265
this shit happens to me on one lane each way 30mph city streets.

>>28859265
Its funny how this is such a huge controversy for americans but no one talks about it at all here.

>>28859255
You need to understand that this isn't a
>OMG GET THE FUCK OUT OF THE WAY MOOOOOOOOOOOVE LIBRUL GRAHHHH
person behind the wheel of the vehicle tailgating you.
It's likely one of the four O's:
>Oriental
>Old
>Ovaries
>brOwn
Who are utterly mindless NPC sheep retard morons when it comes to operating a motorized vehicle.
They do not understand what following distance is. Their autopilot brains only hold three things in their mind:
>Go Forward™
>travel at a speed that Feels Right™
>Do Not Hit™
They genuinely have no awareness of how or why the rear end of your vehicle is getting larger in their field of vision. It just happens. Once it does happen, though, their brains are caught in a while-loop of going Forward™ and Do Not Hit™ in an attempt to reach Feels Right™

I encourage you to go observe these animals on the highway the next chance you get. You will see this behavior exhibited as follows:
>Vehicle near you going 55mph. You cruise control to match. It's an old 4runner and a man is driving, so he probably knows how a vehicle works.
>A Subaru approaches the 4runner from behind going 63mph because that Feels Right™
>Eventually end up at 4runner's bumper, their Feels Right™ has stopped. Now their brain is caught in between Go Forward™ and Do Not Hit™
>They will let off the accelerator until ~3 car lengths have opened up
>They will then mash the accelerator until <1 car lengths are left
>Repeat. It is a toss-up between them aggressively passing with 1-3 blinks of an indicator and ZERO checking of blind spots, or staying in this while-loop forever.
Truly fascinating behavior. It's like rubber banding but more retarded.

Speed limits were put in place to save fuel.
>>28859265
Going the speed limit is not impeding traffic. Doubly so when there are passing lanes available and you sit in the right lane as you should.

>>28859301
>Speed limits were put in place to save fuel.
Cool story bro.

>>28859252

I do 20 over. I still get tailgated.

i'm not running late, i just like speeding lol

>>28859309
but prior to that there were speed limits still in place, just higher. 90% of people and cops ignored the 55 rule

>>28859284
You should be doing 50mph on a street like that to match the speed of traffic. The only time you should ever be going the "speed limit" is when you're driving a tracked company vehicle.

Its literally just low class behaviour.
I grew up in a pretty wealthy area and then entered construction, had a culture shock when I saw how literally all of my coworkers drive. Constantly tailgating, throwing the car around, weaving through traffic.

>>28859317
We're not talking about old speed limits. We're talking about why current ones exist, and why they aren't for "the lowest common denominator" as that other faggot said.
For the last fifty-odd years they've existed as a means to save fuel.
Is it dumb? Absolutely.
Are there safety benefits to lower speed limits? Sure.
Are you still a retard for trying to argue this point? Oh you betcha.
>>28859323
>You should be doing 50mph in a 30mph zone

I've encountered the opposite. The rich, bougie neighborhoods around me all have their cunty HR-flavored wives in their Audis acting worse than Ling Bing Yo leaving the dry cleaner.

cool story bro

>>28859336
No they aren't. You're just a coping poor.

>>28859336
but current limits are also higher than 55 (most of the time) and even then cops usually speed as well

>>28859336
and they quite literally are designed around the lowest common denominator:

uh no?

also no why don't you do it? and yes people tailgate on two way streets

You incels would get laid if you spent more energy working on yourself and less coming up with wacky ass armchair psychologist behavior theories.

>>28859379
Finally someone sane.
I truly think them losing their foreskins also made them more feminine and less likely to be a man.

when i'm running late i'm fucking pissed that retards are going slow but the 10% of the time when i'm not running late, i'm SHOCKED by how aggressively some people drive. can't they just leave 5 minutes earlier?

>>28859344
The lowest common denominator are the people who speed the most.

>>28859399
NTA but I'm gay and it's not a theory. Go take a gander for yourself.
Once you see it once, you can't help but see it everywhere.
Like when your friend casually points out a tiny detail in some everyday object, then every day henceforth has that detail jumping out at you.

>>28859265
it's fine, but there are plenty of stretches of road where they put the exit or the turn off on the left side and so you need to be in that lane otherwise you'll miss your exit.

I like going five over in the left lane with a long line of cars behind me when I slowly pass a long line of cars in the right lane.
Whenever the right clears up and I get over the deficient individual behind me usually gasses it past.
Everyone else claps for me.

>>28859452
LOL

>>28859748
You sound like a woman. "oh I got a left turn in 15 miles better stay in the left lane for the time being to prepare for the exit". I see it pretty often. Left exits are relatively rare and aren't an excuse to camp in the left lane.

I just do the speed limit and cruise. If someone is in a big hurry they can pass. Fuck em.

>>28860367
If you're not in a hurry why don't you take the bus and not wreck travel for everybody else? Is your life that empty that you need to waste other people's lives as well? Is the bull in your parking spot and you're too awkward to confront him?

You sound deranged

>>28860386
Coming from the guy who thinks it's okay to have nobody in front of him but a conga line of a thousand cars behind him. That's rich. I'm curious why you're here in a place like this when you like driving like that. You're an "enthusiast" but you don't want highways with unlimited speeds?

>>28860375
Lol. Doing the speed limit is now wrecking everyone else's life!

>>28860397

Just pass loser. I live in a rural area and 95% of the time there is no one in front of or behind me on the road, until some impatient asshole like you comes speeding up behind me acting like they're so fucking important they need to get to where they were going right now. You know there are other aspects to being an auto enthusiast other than driving like a zero inhibitions nigger right?

>>28859252
Fast lane is for people openly breaking the law if that isnt you stay in the slow lane with the boomers driving at perfect economy speeds for fuel consumption

>>28861705

I’m breaking the “keep right except to pass” law. don’t like it? break the “pass on the left” law.

Bump

I have next week off work for some R+R and the fact I have to use 7 weeks this year. You know what sounds relaxing? Going out from 530am-745am and doing the speed limit on all the 2 lane roads around me Monday-Friday!

>>28859264
yes

There's a meme in Colorado that 75 actually means 75+20 on the interstates. Everything is just so fucking far away, gotta go fast

>entire road is empty except for me and some retard humping my ass despite the fact that I'm slightly over the limit
>signal way in advance before I slow down for the turn, like a solid 6 Mississippi's
>still just barely get out of the way in time while spergzilla blares his horn and screams at me

>>28859265
I have seen people speed ahead diving between multiple other cars so they can get in the left next to a slow moving 18 wheeler and then decide to start matching speed with it, obstructing the entire highway

America is the most dangerous place for driving period. We have just enough infrastructure to allow very high speed cars, but not enough to provide alternatives that would justify revoking a license. Compare to elsewhere and most use public transport and see driving as more of a privilege/luxury. Some describe this as personal freedom, but it’s really a financial burden that US citizens pay for through taxes and insurance.
You might think Im saying this in an anti-car way. Im just arguing for less mouth breathers causing accidents and more options, a lot of people wouldn’t drive if a train/bus was faster safer or cheaper.

Spotting urban communist bullshit is too easy

Your bug hive asian countries are literally 10x more dangerous to drive on than America.

Buses and trains are for faggots

>>28859252
A 10 over the limit should be the absolute bare minimum all drivers need to do at any given time.

I've been getting increasingly more frustrated every day I drive around here. People getting on the freeway too slow, people cutting over last second to avoid taking an exit or to make an exit, people slowing down almost to a complete stop to take a turn etc. Old people need to lose their license.

How is California red but not New York?
t. New Yorker

>>28866254
This x1000. Even worse if its a left exit with no turning lane and traffic coming in the opposite direcdtion. I sometimes have to signal like 20 mississippi's in advance just to try and get the retard behind me to glance up off their phone long enough to get the fucking hint.

>>28866314
>How is California red but not New York?
>t. New Yorker
What exactly do you think that graph is showing? Do you have to drive long distances in New York? Do the majority of the people in the downtown part of New York have their own vehicles or do they rely on public transportation and cabs? Makes sense to me that sparsely populated states with lots of open land mass would have people driving more miles overall.

More people need to take the hypermile pill. I don't understand normies and their rush to work, just leave earlier.

There is a dude that gets off work same time as me a little up the street in a white 4 runner with red Toyota badges. That dude drives so aggressively. He will tailgate, use exit lanes to pass, drive 20+over the 50mph limit, weaves and cuts everyone off at any chance his car can fit into a gap.

Last week he flew up behind me flashing lights and holding down horn as he ran up on me doing 58 in a 55. Yeah so I brake checked him. Haven't seen him since.

The car I drive to work is my beater. It was handed down to me and is almost 25 years old. They do not make this model anymore. The model after is isn't made any more either. Do you really think I care if you rear end me? Literally "I will kill us both"
