Speeding Cushion Disappearing...

[SarahLiz]

So, I was reading the thread "speeding epidemic", and it reminded me of an article I read earlier today. I'm sure everyone else will be just as happy as I am when they read this. I will be so mad if this happens to me. I ALWAYS do 5 over the limit. *sigh*

Yeah, I think that is wrong. What if you need to pass someone?? That ticks me off! I always do like 10 mph over the speed limit on highways...if I don't people will tailgate me!:mad:

I agree and have you ever notice when your doing the 10 miles over your getting passed like your sitting still ????

I go about 10 over too and people still fly by me like I'm sitting still! There is this one part of my commute where cops like to sit and catch people, so I always slow down to only 5 over there :p and the people behind me start tailgating until they see the cop ;) Then of course are the ones in front of me who are sometimes already going about 5 under and then STILL hit their breaks and slow down when they see him :tantrum:

Yeah I read this article yesterday too and thought the whole, cutting down on the speeding cushion to fill budgets or whatever is such crap :P
And like yoou guys said, even if you do go 5-10mph over the speed limit, your usually still getting passed.
