To drive at the speed limit

OK I know in theory I'm not being unreasonable not to break the law - but why do I feel like I'm the only one then?

I drive to work along a dual carriageway. It's a clearly signposted 60mph road. The traffic in the left lane drives at 60. The traffic in the right lane drives at 70+ There's a roundabout where I have to turn off this road, taking the third exit (right), so I move into the right lane and drive at 60. Because it's the speed limit. But almost always, someone charges right up behind me and then drives intimidatingly close to the back of my car. I really really hate it. I feel like I'm being bullied each time, and I also feel very uncomfortable with having drivers so close to the back of my car. If I had to brake they'd go right into the back of me.

Am I just boring and nobody actually drives at the speed limit? Am I being unreasonable driving at the speed limit and annoying all the other drivers on their way to work?

YABU = You don't need to drive at 60.
YANBU = You should drive at the speed limit

The X4 can drag pretty much anything, as I've discovered, and here's where I'm in complete agreement with your earlier post, because it can't take a god damned roof box!
So, maybe the leavers have a point- my next car will be British!
Oh, hang on......

Obvs! Anyway, when I said the North, I wasn't including t'other side of The North Wall. There be dragons.....

I have to agree that the X4 (as with all other X models) is utterly pointless, and completely honking. My 4 Series Gran Coupe on the other hand 👌🏼
