      But this is an actual fact… People who drive under the speed limit are bad drivers. Either they are not paying attention to speed signs, or they are scared to drive a car. Both are not great for a driver.

      Also slow cars are causing accidents because they frustrate people into doing stupid things.

      At least people who drive fast have confidence in their abilities to read traffic. But its also stupid if they drive way too fast and cant handle it. That also causes accidents.

      So I would say, a bit faster than the speed limit is perfect. Doesnt annoy anyone, still very safe. I often drive 10 km/h faster then speed limit.

        this kind of thinking literally kills people, you’re not doing good, you’re a reckless driver.

        The speed limit is the speed LIMIT, it’s not a fucking suggestion, and in most cases the speed limit is too high.

          Not where I live, but I think it depends. In madeira it was absolutely too high.

          Obviously the speed limit is not perfectly set in all places. If you have travelled and driven a car, you quickly realize this.

          People are absolutely not reckless drivers because they go 10 over the speed limit, as a general rule at least. But like I said, depends on the country a lot.
