Drivers Doing Under The Speed Limit

[95SKY]

Hi Guys

Well i was driving to work this morning and i came across a few people doing under the speed limit say doing 60kmp in a 80kmp zone etc im sure it happens to everyone everyday, But the question is do you think its just as dangerous/hazard as say speeding over the limit? I find it very frustrating and could possibly cause a accident?

What are your thoughts?

Yes it is as just as dangerous as speeding , well maybe not as dangerous but it is a problem

I wonder about the drivers skill if they cant do the speed limit

Yeh it makes me wonder to, whats so hard about sitting on the legal speed limit,

[Gts-t]

they deserve whats coming to them, they have no place on the road if they cannot maintain speed limits.

with the way the gov places such a focus on speeding as the main cause of accidents i feel some of the blame must go their way though...

Dangerous for who? Pedestrian or the driver?

Would you rather get hit at 30 KM/h or 90 in a 60 zone...

I highly doubt you will see police officers stopping grannies doing 30 in a 60 zone saying "pardon me miss but you were doing 30 in a 60 zone..."

my dad got busted for going too slow on the freeway in the U.S

LMAO

but yes, there's nothing more annoying than getting stuck behind someone going almost half the speed limit

If they see you doing 50 in a 100 zone on a freeway then police will pull you over to see whats up, they may fine you if your reason is not sufficient... if they catch you doing 150 on a freeway, your going to court with a big ass fine and a loss of licence.

Slow drivers can be just as dangerous, sure they won't hit as hard but what about the frustrated person who has been stuck behind them for a while. They eventually snap and do something stupid to get past said slow person and end up causing an accident. Indirectly the slow person is responsible because had they been traveling at the legal speed there is a fair chance that the other driver wouldn't have had to do anything stupid in the first place.

for f**ks sake, you drive skylines. drop a gear and over take, it will take up all of about 2 seconds of your life.

[shaolin]

with all the speed cameras being setup now I don't really blame people doing under the speed limit.. more than 5-10k's under is a bit much tho.

if it was a narrow road and they had a huge amount of traffic backed up behind them then they could be booked for dangerous driving or something like that. they are causing road rage, and then people would be trying to overtake, and you may get someone 10 cars back try to overtake a whole lot of cars and then get past 5 and have a car come the other way and he has to take evasive action.

but if you are unable, or not confident enough to drive at the limit then you are a dangerous driver. you would end up possibly causing accidents and road rage. it is the same with people who take for ever at intersections they wait for ages till there is a huge gap because they don't want to try to fit into a normal sized gap because they are too scared. and then everyone behind them gets impatient and takes more risks because they are angry/frustrated and doesn't want to be stuck there even longer.

Man nothing pisses me off more then that especially when they are doing 10-20 under the limit in the left lane. Primarily i think its old people, sometimes I wonder if they will introduce a re-test at a certain age to keep you licence??

also the people who slow down to have a sticky-beak at an accident as they drive past. then they take their eyes off the road and slam up the back of the person in front of them that is doing the same thing. or they just slow down the rest of the traffic and you end up with traffic backed up for ages simply because some people want to have a good old look at a crash. admittedly i will slow down to have a look if there isn't much traffic, but if i have a heap of cars behind me i will keep going at normal speed.

I hate this aswell but if youve got another lane just hit a bit of boost & overtake, slow drivers are very irritating.

after the age of 85 they have to re-do their test every year.
