Driving the speed limit is dangerous !!!

rocketpop · 07-11-2008, 02:06 PM

Lately I have slowed down and been driving the speed limit to see if that would boost my MPG. Even in the far right (slow) lane, I nearly get ran off the road!!! They tailgate, flash thier lights, get real close to me as they pass me, etc.

These people probably the same people who gripe about how much gas they use but still drive thier SUV 80+ MPH.

Welcome to the slow lane! If you're used to going fast, it'll take a while to adjust to being overtaken and having cars behind you :biggrin:

There's only one thing to do --go back to flying by those folks in the slow lane that think you're going to hit them :eyebulge

Observing the prevailing flow is probably the safest method to prevent becoming a moving obstacle.
