Boy, nothing gets by you eh? I was pretty overt from the get-go that I tend to drive slightly above the limit when it is safe to do so.
As for people who can accelerate and people who speed being the biggest danger on the road, I'd say the people retarding the flow of traffic, the people who expect us all to be psychic and know when they're about to change lanes without a blinker, and the people turning left on a long yellow light or sneaking in behind on the red are far, far worse.
It's difficult living in a world of mentally slow people who can't process for shit, so there's no sense trying to argue with you here. Just keep driving like a putz and enjoy the fact that while you can't grasp the concept of a blinker or reaching the limit, cops are aggressively going after people who can reach limits and are able to process things at an above average rate.
It's so telling that when I say speeding is dangerous, you believe that I don't also think that not using your blinkers, not leaving the left lane for passing, and running red lights is dangerous. Take responsibility for your actions instead of building a strawman to feel justified in your behaviour.
Nah, there is no strawman in my point. Speeding is not an issue - especially on streets that have gone from 80 down to 60. Of everybody on the road, speeders are the least of my concern, even before I had my license though back then there was also far more bitching about slow walkers, too.
Sorry you don't have the reaction speed to handle driving a vehicle at a moderate pace. I hope you stick to side streets for your own safety.
