That's a misprint, right? 90% of people on Deerfoot aren't doing 100. Of all the folks here that signed my death warrant in the last thread, I still think at least half of you are outright lying about doing the speed limit. I drive Deerfoot dozens of times a week (well, I moved a week ago so not that much anymore), but it is total BS that everyone just drives 100. Just a pile of crap.

Anything south of 130th or north of 64th, the average spped is well above 100. Then there's the straightaways between glenmore and calf robe and peigan and 17th, 8th underpass up to 16th and even beyond. On a clear day, people are going 110 - 120 in the center lane (see: me). And then people are still passing in the left lane.

I think alot of people are picturing rush hour traffic when they call me out for admitting that I speed on Deerfoot. Of course you can't go that fast during those times. But for the rest of you who, like me, could be on Deerfoot at any given time of day or night, quit trying to tell me that it's only safe to go 100 and therefore, you can go that speed in the left lane. Especially if you're driving beside someone in the middle lane going the same speed. If you do that, you're an ignorant a-hole that needs to remove your head from your butt and stop thinking you're a cop.
