How fast do you drive

Lumpold · 10-07-2010, 02:08 PM

I drive it like I stole it. But I drive a Merc Sprinter. So, driving it like I stole it generally means like any other White Van Man in the UK

I usually keep it about 5 over the posted limits on highways and major thoroughfares but usually drive slower then posted in residential areas because I don't want to hit a kid.

I'm the same way in residential areas. I probably should have specified main thoroughfares as I get pissed when I see people speeding through the neighborhood. Most of my neighbors probably think I am insane because when I see people speeding through the subdivision I am usually the one walking down to their house to give them an @ss chewing. We have way to many young kids in our neighborhood who run into the street without even thinking to look before stepping out so I know it's only a matter of time before one gets tagged. It's not fun trying to pull a kid out from the undercarriage of a car. Had to do it once when in the fire service back in NY and don't look forward to ever having to do it again.

5-10 Over usually.....

But sometimes the Lotus makes certain demands of me...and I must comply.

Depends where I'm at and what I'm driving.

If I'm on the motorcycle:
5-10mph over on surface streets
10-15mph over on the freeways

If I'm in the car:
5 over on surface streets
10 over on the freeways

In Norfolk you just go with the flow of traffic, which is usually 15+ over the speed limit or a dead stop

Sailchaser · 10-07-2010, 08:55 PM

On the highways 1-5 over or with the flow of traffic,residential it's the speed limit But on the water it's a fast as the boat will go of course except in no wake zones(way to heavy of a fine

)

MedicCook · 10-07-2010, 09:39 PM

I am usually in the 5-10 area. My car usually won't go above 70 mph anyways.

IBQTEE1 · 10-08-2010, 01:11 PM

Well, I was only doing 10 over on the way to the Shack and I got pulled over. I blame BigVito's car for that. And for the record I did not get a speeding ticket!!

This is what I say to people I drive fast not stupid.

MrsSledn · 10-08-2010, 02:00 PM

In the neighborhood, the speed limit or a bit under. We have kids galore around here. Non residential, about 5 over. Highway, about 10 over or keep up with traffic.

With my age, I have grown LESS tolerant of those that drive under the speed limit. Regardless if my child is in the car with me or not. If it's 45 and the sun is shining, do 45 or 50. Not friggin 35 and then go even slower when you see I am trying to pass you.

Those people, annoy the crap out of me.

I know the feeling. When on the bike I find it tough to keep it less than 20 over. The other morning I blasted away from a light and had to stop at the next light only to realize a LEO was in the lane next to me. Very surprised he didn't pull me over as I deserved to be since I got on it way to hard but sometimes she just begs me to beat on her. Lately I have been really contemplating getting rid of it because I know it's just a matter of time before I really get bagged for either speeding or wreckless and the speeding ticket I will probably get will probably fall under the wreckless category anyway.
