    Yeah, that’s me on Prius, driving deliberately not above speed limit to laugh at your funny face when you pass and then not shine my high lights at you feeling moral superiority.

        Where I live now, having more that one lane is a luxury few places could afford. I still slow down and move towards shoulder if I see The Secret Hints (those funny blinky yellow lights that do not seem to work in many, many cars).

        yes, it’s about 5km/h lower than what panel says, I use GPS to fuel my ego! This bike is not made for speed.

        I can drive fast and pull 4wd cars from snow with this car (I pulled dudes on RAMs from Grand Canyon snowy roads with 2010 Corolla), I just don’t want to.

          Excellent. I drive exactly the speed limit, but often find myself stuck behind slow drivers (as the speedometer reads higher), hence the question. Some people do not pay attention (phone, etc.), some are unfamiliar with the road, some are too old to drive, …

            Hah, when I lived in the US, I was 100% certain that if a road has limit, I can always, in worst imaginable conditions, just nail it and go with limit (I lived down south, ok, in Texas, but traveled all the thing).

            Now in Europe this is absolutely not the case. I don’t mean Autobahns even, just regular roads in Finland are, well, just slow down if not sure, ok?

              Obviously everyone needs to slow down when the conditions require it. Wet, snow, dark, too crowded, hard to see, …
