If you are a driver like I am then I'm sure that sometimes
you may exceed the posted speed limit, but you know that there are
consequences to your actions and you might get a ticket.
I'm
fine with that part of driving but what I'm not fine with, is when I'm
driving the speed limit and someone is driving way below it. How many of
us have been doing a hundred on a single lane highway, only to catch up
with someone driving eighty (kilometers here in Canada). This
scenario is almost more dangerous than speeding in my opinion.
Now
you have a group of people trapped behind someone and pass unsafely
most of the time. I live on a single lane highway and I can tell you I
have had my life flash before my eyes on numerous occasions from people
passing unsafely because somebody ahead of them is driving too slowly.
Why don't people who drive slow get ticketed as well? (And lets take all
driving conditions into account and say yes there is a time when you
should slow down like fog, weather..ect) A nice sunny day and someone
is doing 15 kilometers under the speed limit. They should get a fine for going too slowly.
Whenever we have a long weekend the motor homes and trailer come out, and on the first day of a long weekend you almost never have to wait behind anyone because they are all in a hurry to get to the lake, but on the way home it is a a literal trailer and motor home slow nightmare with some people in a hurry and some people taking their sweet time.
This is an accident waiting to happen with people that pass the slow driving trailers 2 at a time.
Driving slow is not driving safe. It creates angry drivers and hazardous road conditions. Do the speed limit.
