People that try to argue that they need to speed to keep up with the flow of traffic need a reality check. There is a speed limit. LIMIT. As in maximum. Not recommended speed, not mininum speed. By law you should not drive above that speed. One phrase that kills me when I hear people say it... "They could at LEAST go the speed limit." So many people view it as the mininum you should go. Then they bitch about police unfairly stopping speeders just to 'get their quota.' Like there is ANY trouble finding a car exceeding the speed limit. Don't get me wrong... I'm not saying I'm the perfect driver, cruising along right at 60, not going a smidge over. I just get irritated with the attitude a lot of people have when they are out on the freeway.

I have a problem with selfish behavior period...if you think you have the right to endanger me with irresponsible behavior, be it driving or anything else...I'll let you know that your rights, needs, desires, etc. do not supercede everyone else's
