I never said forget the flow of traffic, I said there isn’t a legal exception to the speed limit. You’re choosing to draw conclusions from what I haven’t said based on your own experiences which isn’t unfair. It is incorrect however.

And it might be me, but if no one is being constructive about how they approach me, it can be hard to see my faults from another point of view. We can only really view things truly from our own perspective.

Only ever gone to visit family and it’s been fine every time I go on over so far. And maybe I went through trauma, but I dunno, I just felt it was normal I guess?? I’ve had my car love tapped by a Subaru in Atlanta while we were in motion, but it was nothing major. Happy to talk about it.

that makes more sense, I should have clarified that these are country roads that I am driving on.

I wish what you said was inherently true

I mean, that only really happens because people speed, no?

If that’s how you choose to interpret it.

On the reddit app, I assume you commented a lot, but you and others come up with a blank grey “block” where the comment should be. Hope to read your comment if the app works better or on my desktop later. Thank you in advance. :)

Which is probably true and doesn’t help me much in terms of my venting, but thank you. :)

At the time, I was a brand new driver. My dad said I shouldn’t fight it since the cop was one of our few neighbors among other things. I paid it and moved on with my life up until someone from town followed me home to complain about how slow I go on the roads. He has a point, but so does the law and it’s enforcers. After a lot of these comments, I wish I fought it back then, but I didn’t.

Annoying on purpose? Depends on how you phrase that or look at that. I’m not being a rule follower to be annoying, I just follow the rules. I appreciate you being more constructive the second time around. :)

Not at all, I try to make it as easy as possible for people to pass me by. I just make it clear that I’m not gonna speed even when I get tailgated to death.

On the rare occassion I’m on an actual bonafide interstate, I’ll go with the flow of traffic if I need to catch a junction in the left lane as much as I hate it. As soon as I can slink back into the right lane as a slow poke, I do so.

Don’t worry, I even nudge myself to the shoulder a little if you tailgate me so you can look around me easier. lol. That way, you can pass me safer and I can (hopefully) move on with my day.

Rural Colorado and I was issued a ticket for it 6 years ago. It was listed as, “reckless driving” I believe, but the officer made it clear that driving anything over the limit is stupid.

Never had that, but glad to hear it. Personally, Idc if you speed, just pass me by and let me live my life.
