Listen, I have a lot of frusteration when it comes to roads because most people think they own the road. INCLUDING the speed-limit and slower people who are scared to death of driving. Confidence = good driving. Lack of confidence = making everyone else mad when you block them, make dumb lane changes, don't use your rearview etc...

As a left-lane sort of guy, I hate that the slow people think they own the road. If you stay in your lane, I'll stay in mine and everyone will get where they want to safe and sound. I will get there 5 minutes quicker, and that is worth the speeding to me. Maybe you think it's dangerous but you're not doing it are you? So mind your own business and move.

Just so you know, I have never gotten a ticket. (Knock on wood). So obviously I am decently safe with my speeding, and don't weave in and out of traffic. I don't draw attention to myself or do anything dangerously, I just like to speed when the roads are clear enough to do so. Why be limited by a "speed limit" when I want to go 10 or 20 over? I don't think this is dangerous on Deerfoot, Crowchild, Glenmore, Barlow NORTH, 16th ave. NE, etc... I obviously don't do it on Elbow drive for example. And to the guy who said he pumps the breaks when someone is on his tail: you should move over. That is what the proper thing to do is or if you can't, signal at least, that way if there is a car beside you the faster driver knows you recognise he wants to pass and will get off you a bit. If I see someone signal, I back off because I know they are being considerate. I give them a wave/nod when I pass. Thanks for being a good driver and being considerate.

I am sick of you guys jumping on fast drivers. If you are a speed limit person you need to understand not everyone who speeds is doing so dangerously, and you need to move out of the way in order for them to continue their safe passage, as well as yours. By blocking them, they have to manouvre (wtf, sp??) around you and this causes more problems than if you would have just been a considerate driver. They might cause an accident that you think they caused, but in reality you are at fault because you made the road unsafe by your poor driving habits. TWO WRONGS DON'T MAKE A RIGHT AND YOU ARE NOT THE POLICE SO STOP DICTATING WHAT WILL HAPPEN ON THE ROAD TO OTHER DRIVERS.
