Had one of THOSE kind of drivers last night

Picked up at the pentagon. The guy drove 80 most of the time, 90 or above whenever he could, and spent the whole trip back to 234 weaving in and out, like he was at Indy.

Wish I got his license plate. The driver was a black male, I'd say in his mid-thirties, driving a small black, honda sedan.

Do drivers really not care what the speed limit is while they have strangers in the car? when I pick people up, i'm more careful than usual in how I drive!

Honestly, and people get upset when they are stopped by police?

I will look for his license plate the next time. This is a driver to be avoided!!

I do not condone this guys behavior - his driving at speeds while weaving in an out is not acceptable. I do know that MANY drivers (including myself) will drive at 80 - 90 (at various times) when the conditions are acceptable and I'm on a long trip. I don't think that speeding while on the small commute on the 95 corridor during rush hour traffic is acceptable. A constant speed above 65 - perhaps 65-75 is normal IMO.

I got pulled over for driving 72 on 95 with slugs in my car and yes I was pissed off. I asked the police officer why he pulled me over out of a crowd of 8 or 9 cars all going slightly above 70 and he asked me if I ever went fishing. I said yes and he replied with, "Well then, you know that when you cast your line, your confident you will catch a fish, and you will only be able to hook one at a time." 72mph! I politely thanked him for being such an upstanding officer of the peace and told him to hurry up and catch the next oh so reckless driver.

There's been past discussions about speed, etc. on the HOV lanes. If you drive 65-70 mph, why do other people feel they need to drive down your tail pipe? I particularly am peeved by SUV owners thinking they can just ram themselves up my Civic's tail pipe when I'm cruising at 70 mph. Sometimes they get ticked because I actually have the nerve to leave space between me and the car in front.

I want a bumper sticker -- If you don't like my speed, I can always slow down!

I don't recall seeing where Stuck2 specified that he/she was cruising in the left lane. I agree with tdar20 that cruising should be done in the right lane, but tailgating happens in both lanes, especially if traffic is moderate to heavy and the fast-burners are using both lanes. Sometimes drivers need to remember that not everyone is attempting to qualify for the Poconos 400. [8D]

Speed does NOT kill. Please go to Germany and observe driving and such over there. Bad drivers that speed, that kills.

I usually travel 80mph in the HOV lanes (traffic permitting). I do NOT weave in and out. I have a very safe car, with tires and suspension that can handle high speeds.
