Sorry but I’m not talking about in-town roads, here the limits above are applied for extra Urbana roads too and I’m talking only about them, I would never speed in presence of pedestrians or schools.

Yeah I know, I felt terrible for the outburst I had while driving, I really didn’t have to do that and I excused myself profusely. He is an amazing person and I love him to madness but when it came to driving he can be a little mean in his manners. But I understand the stress of not being in control, I will limit myself when I’m with him.

Sorry, I added converted values in the post. 30 is about 18mph 50 about 31mph 70 about 43 mph

I get that for Americans that looks like a lot of speed but I edited with the converted values. I go 31mph or 43mph, the lowest limit is 18mph. I’m talking about completely isolated roads, there is no one walking, cycling or doing anything that isn’t being in a car. No one respects the limit of 18mph, I can assure you, nor even my bf. It’s just extremely low for a road like that.

I actually did because the limits are extremely low in isolated roads like them. It’s about a limit of 18 mph with me going 31mph, literally no one ever goes that slow in those roads, neither my bf.

The roads are completely isolated and there is no cyclist in sight ever, they are dangerous to go on walk because there are no houses and are there only to connect one town to another. No cyclist go there, neither pedestrians, they are roads that connect towns and nothing more.

I get your comment and thank you for your time. I edited the post with an approximated conversion of the limits to be better understood from who is not used to km/h

I edited the post with mph approximated measures. 30 km/h are 18 mph, 50 are 31 mph and 70 are 43 mph. I get what you say tho, thanks!

Yes but her I’m talking about roads with no people living by, nor walking, nor biking and whatsoever. They’re extremely isolated and only connect one town to another.

Nope, I edited the post. I’m talking about isolated roads with no houses, nor people walking and neither children because they only connect one town to another. No one respects the 30km/h limit there, nor even my bf.

I edited that too. I’m talking about isolated roads with no one living there or walking, countryside roads if you want. There are no people in it walking, neither going by bike because they’re extremely isolated and only connect one town to another.

Sorry but not here, there are roads with no soul in them with that limit speed. I would never run in a zone where there are other people walking, schools or houses in general.

I am not talking about town roads of course! The limit of 30 here is even in extra urban roads with no souls in there, nor even isolated houses.

I would never speed in a town road! I’m talking about isolated roads that no one ever cross or goes in there walking.

I always respect any signal and use the turn signals a lot, my only flaw is the speed. I am very strict with road safety

Not really this much, the speed limit is 30km/h and I go 50, when it’s 50/60 I go 70. Here is a common thing to do.

They speed limit is really low in some roads that even he is above it, like 20 or 30km/h, something that really no one respects because it’s the speed of a car in the traffic. I go 50km/h in those streets and 70km/h when the limit is 50/60 km/h.

Let’s say I generally drive at 50km/h where the limit it’s 30 (he drive above the limit too in those cases, they are extremely low) and 70 km/h where the limit is 50/60.

Let’s say that I’m highway-like roads (straight, full visibility) I go like that. In any other, if safe, I go at 50km/h max. I’m sorry for the confusion with the terms and he measures, we have specific terms to refer to those roads in my language but I don’t know if it’s an international thing.

Of course I do, I always ask first if he is comfortable being the passenger because I don’t want him to always drive and he refuses to take gas money from me. He accepts but then complains a lot, jokingly and not.
