If people drive to their limits thats ok but if a person drives well below the posted limit and the driving conditions are good should they infact be driving? The road speed limits are set as advisory (for cornering) and maximum limits, most modern cars can safely travel at that limit and more (say 20k over) with no adverse reactions so why do people need to travel well below the limit and cause undue duress to other road users? The best excuse for owning my car is that overtaking can be accomplished quickly and without the need of a long straight or run up so I can make light work of passing, however people driving less powered cars as their patience waines can take more risks in overtaking and this becomes unsafe for all even for the vehicle travelling slower than posted limit. I must admit that following a car travelling at 80 in a 100 zone when the car is not fully loaded and conditions are good makes me wonder why they are on the road at all.
