how fast do you drive?
just curious (got me thinking cause yesterday i drove past this over lady and her dog at a crosswalk at like 80+ in the middle of this s curve in my neighborhood, and she was pretty upset :x)
the car i drive is a piece of crap too, stock 99 protege, has like a dinky 1.6 or somethin, but i drive the heck out of it (since its manual too) so i push the rpms pretty high
i find myself driving prob a lil too fast (only got 1 ticket ever tho, clocked at 83 blah in an 60) tho i dont think im dangerous, i'll weave in and out of traffic sometimes, but i usually follow other fast cars (and i hav a bad habit of tailgating slow cars in the fast lane, these ppl with tunnel vision and drive speed limit on them..)
but ya, how fast do u usually drive (city? highway?) as fast as the car in front of u? weaving in and out of traffic? danger to society lol?

Anyhow, I find people in Vancouver are pretty lax drivers. In Toronto, where we have a lot more Highways, going 140kmph isn't out of the ordinary on the 401.
As for me...I go as fast as the bus takes me =)
Consider a twenty minute commute from point A to point B in a mix of "stop and go" traffic and highway traffic. A 20km/h difference in overall speed isn't going to translate to a whole lot of difference in time. So what if you can do the twenty minute commute in eighteen minutes... Run the numbers and you'll see...
Slow the f*** down and you won't have to make threads like this.
but its not that i drive reckless or get into any accidents, im far from a bad driver, there are some terrible drivers out there, im certainly not one of them
i think the speed limits are a little low here anyways, should b closer to US speeds
When it's during rush hour, I'll be lucky if I manage to do 60 km/hr.
During road trips, I drive around 140-145 km/hr on the I5. I didn't get a speeding ticket in the US yet.
Although recently a cop did give me a ticket for doing 60km/hr in a 50 zone in Surrey.
until I lost my licence
i hope that explains it ^
BTW i have a big e-penis
Besides, 10 years ago traffic density wasn't quite as heavy as it is today and back then you could do 70 km/h on Oak street from 70th right up to about King Edward even in rush-hour conditions. Try that now!
