It's one thing to go slow in winter when there's gridlock, but in summer when the roads are clear and the sun isn't blinding, GOgogogogogogogog and don't stop.
There's a difference between being cautious, and being scared to drive. Safety doesn't equal slowness and speed is not the devil. Seriously. If you can't go the speed limit on a day like today, when can you? Get off the road if you are afraid.
edit: just to say that I don't think you are unsafe Dion, never seen you drive. Just annoyed at slow people, and dumbasses who do unsafe fast driving.

You want to speed, REDVAN? Go ahead. Just don't expect everyone to follow what you are doing.
I drive the speed limit because i don't want a photo radar ticket or an actual speeding ticket for that matter. I'd like to keep my insurance rates as they are and don't want them going any higher. Maybe you can afford these high gas prices, i can not.
From my experience those that speed (not saying you REDVAN) for the most part are a danger to everyone else on the road and i'm not talking Deerfoot per say. Unsafe lane changes to get ahead of some other driver. Tailgating because they are frustrated with the speed of traffic. Even worse are the speeders who think they can handle bad weather conditions.
