[QUOTE="meowbunny, post: 204523, member: 3626"] I'm of the school you go the speed that traffic is going. At the very least, if you insist on going slower, GET OUT OF THE WAY. Stay in the slow lane. Better yet, stay off the freeways. All you do is get people mad and they will ether tailgate you or maneuver like a mad person to get around you -- neither of which is safe. I've taken several defensive driving courses and the consensus has been that while going the speed limit or slower is a good, safe thing to do, it becomes irrelevant if you've ticked off the drivers around you. They lose their common sense and it becomes an accident waiting to happen situation. So, I would say slow down when it is safe but if the traffic is going 10 miles faster than you are, please keep up with the traffic for the safety of you and others. Road rage makes people do some really stupid things and there's no reason to get others mad when you can avoid it. I rarely speed but I will move over so that someone driving faster can get by me. So, if the speed limit is 65 and I want to do 55, I'm going to bend over backwards to let those who want to go faster pass me. If I'm doing the speed limit and others want to go faster, I'll move over. I'll also let drivers know I see them and that I'm trying to get out of their way (it takes nothing to give a friendly wave and turn your signal on). If there's no way to get out of the way, I will speed up until I can safely change lanes and let the other drivers pass. There's just no reason to get other drivers mad by insisting on your speed expect ego. Sorry, ladies. [/QUOTE]
