I'm just curious as to how many people here actually speed and don't follow what they teach you in Driver's Ed.

For me I sure as hell don't. I'm usually going 50-55mph in a 45mph zone, sometimes I find myself going 60. On the beltline I often go around 80-90mph. I don't know why, but I just do. I never use blinkers either. And another thing that pisses me off is why in the world is it the law to use headlights in the DAYTIME while it's raining? If you can't see good enough in broad daylight while it's raining, get off the road.

Also, it pisses me off that people always wait a couple seconds when the light turns green to go. My god, it's green get your hand out of your ass and go on. That's why I always try and get up there in front of everyone because I know there's going to be some ass that sits there.

Who agrees with me? If you're scared to drive, get off the road or have someone who isn't afraid of driving drive.

I don't speed around school zones, I actually go slower than the posted speed limit. Maybe it was a mistake posting this thread. I was just curious to see how many people here did speed and all. Sorry I brought it up.

When its raining, your vision is impaired thats why you should use headlights. Also I always wait a few seconds after a light turns green cause you never know what idiot will fly thru a red light and not stop. Also I very rarely speed, If I do it is no more that 5pmh over the limit.

Exactly. Of course when I was younger, I maybe have agreed with the OP. However, time brings wisdom I suppose. Wait a few years and experience some things then come back and reread the thread.

It does seem like I would of learned a lesson seeing how I've been pulled twice for it. I guess I just hate going slow and I like to get where I'm going and back home asap. I hate being out on the roads. Maybe I'll slow down when I'm older and experience more or something, I don't know. Just a curious question. I'm horrible.
