AIBU to want to drive at the correct speed

[Freudianslap]

All bloody morning I've had people driving an inch behind me, some shaking their heads, some then overtaking and looking glaringly into my car - all because I am daring to drive bang on the speed limit.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not one of these people who do 20 in a 30mph zone but having already got points for speeding I am not prepared to speed up just so other people are less annoyed.

I am usually quite stubborn about things like this so am not usually bothered but today it has really irritated me.
Plus these people tend to be the same ones who drive in full daylight with their bloody full headlights on.

Oh I don't know, maybe I need to go an have a lie down.

Emily. The speeding by itself is normally only a contributing factor. It is bad driving that causes the issue. Not being able to read the road and adjust your speed accordingly. Not paying attention ( eating/on mobile/applying make up etc) is far more of an issue as these issues cause accidents at any speed.

And even at 20mph - if you are so engrossed in what you are doing you drive over someone the chances of the, surviving are slim.

Pod course, it depends if you use the term speeding in relation to a signed speed limit, or according to what is sage at any given time.

Speeding is used to describe something compared to a law stating what is the maximum acceptable rather than what is actually safe.

I would say you are speeding doing 40 in a 60 limit when you see a large group of children crossing the road. Legally you may not be but you are in real terms

You seem to be arguing any point possible here just to be " in the right" over something or to keep momentum in the debate.
I really can't be doing with that approach. Sorry. I don't mean to be rude but I find it wearing.
Re: the OP. yes. I find it annoying when other drivers expect me to speed and tailgate if I don't (or when I see it happening to other ppl)
I cannot, hand on heart say that I've never broken the speed limit. I drive a "powerful" car and sometimes it feels safer to keep up with the other speeders on a motorway for a certain stretch. But I do, as a rule, observe the speed limit because I know that ppl can be killed as a direct result of driving too fast.
Now there might be all sorts of niggly points that someone could chew Over but it doesn't change my view that speeding is, by and large, potentially v dangerous and, therefore, a bit of a wanky thing to do.
