Slow drivers

[Skippy]

I am a pretty calm driver but some people just drive me nuts. I got stuck behind someone driving 25 in a 35 the other day and it took me so long to get where I was going. Are you a slow driver or do you get annoyed by people that do that?

It varies. If I'm driving on a highway, for instance, without cruise control, I am likely to look at my speedometer and realize I'm going 45mph. Basically, I'm one of those people you hate to drive behind, generally.

I feel the same way as Skippy, especially if there is only one lane. If there is a passing lane, then I don't care how slow you drive. Other than that, I think it's common courtesy to at least drive close to the speed limit. I understand that there are exceptions if you're having problems with your car, but I see people going unreasonably slow all the time.

I hope that isn't 45mph in a 70mph speed zone. If that's the case I can't protect you from all the maniacs.

I usually drive the limit or a little more, but even if I go the limit, I'll get some idiot tailgating me. That is one of the things that really upsets me most about other people on the road. If you're driving too slow for me, I'll just pass. I don't like to be stuck in a right lane with someone that makes a right turn like a turtle though.

I am NOT a slow driver and it annoys me to no end when people drive under the speed limit. Of course if it's nasty out then I don't care. I also hate getting stuck behind tractors that think they own the road!

Just last night my sister and I were chatting about driving speed. She said she used to think that slowing down had to do with aging, but now she believes it is more from wisdom. I agree with her. My goal is now to get there in one piece, so I drive slower than I did when I was younger and in a hurry.

I drive the speed limit but I really do get annoyed with people that drive drastically under the speed limit. If there is a reason like car issues or weather then it's fine, but seriously.

I don't think I'm a very slow driver, but I don't drive as fast as some people who want to run you off the road. It's just ridiculous! It's bad enough when you know you are already driving above the speed limit and everyone is passing you by, but then they try to make you have an accident. That is just totally uncalled for!

It depends on where I am at a particular time. If I am driving slowly and there is a car behind me, I will slightly increase my speed.

It is a nuisance to be on the road and not be conscious of others.

I had two dump trucks on both lanes coming through an area where I had to drive eight miles, the one refused to move over. It was a 45mph road and it took forever to get home, with of course an upset child in the backseat after getting 3 shots!

Then you would hate what I saw one time while on a road trip. The highway was a 2 lanes both way with a large ditch median in the the middle. I saw two semi trucks side by side going so slow and the cars behind them were backed up. I swear there were at least a mile of cars backed up because the two idiots were blocking the road. I have no clue why they did that and to this day I have never seen anything like it again.

No one says you have to go the speed limit. Now if you drive too slow, you can be ticketed, but at the same time, you are not required to go 65 in a 65 or 35 in a 35. Safety first, and that includes driving safely.

 

[Ares]

I think it depends on the situation and my mood. I am a defensive driver and sometimes I drive a bit slow, but not to the point that you will hate to drive behind me.

 

[UGoGirl]

I find it so annoying to be in traffic where there are lots of people trying to get places, and there will be people in traffic in their own little world oblivious to everything going on around them!

 

[NeedNewWheels]

I don't think I'm a slow driver. I always drive the speed limit but I stay in the slow lane whenever possible so that those who tend to go faster can just go around me. I get so embarrassed riding with people who like to go slow!

Speaking of blocking traffic, today we were going to the next town and this tractor was in the right lane, and a semi truck was in the left lane keeping everyone from passing the tractor! That was so rude!
