I want to know if people drive above or below or at speed limit. Im a very nice driver and let people go through intersections before me. I even drive over the speed limit within the 5 mph cushion. However, I hate drivers that blatantly pass me going 80 mphs in a 60 mph zone. I want to hear your opinions and driving habits.

I always drive fast enough to make sure that when I hit someone, I kill them.

Residential areas: 30mph
Dual carriageways: 70mph
Open roads: 40mph or National speed limit (60mph)
Motorways: 80mph but some people like to do way above 100mph so if I see a sports car coming up behind me in the fast lane I'll indicate and go into the left lane to let them pass. Same with any driver who wants to drive like an asshole, just step aside and lead them to their fate.

I try to keep within the speed limit, its either bang on or just slightly above. If I have a clear road with no speed cameras I'll sometimes creep up to 35mph on residential roads.

I'm still a student driver so I go ~5 mph above or below the speed limit depending on the road and traffic. People aren't usually impatient so it's ok if I'm a little slow.

Usually no more than 5 over, but lately I've been trying to slow down a bit to try and save some gas.......

No I have the worst case of lead foot. Average for me is 15 over what the sign says, its a terrible habit but I love to drive so it can't be helped

I try not to drive 3MPH over the speed limits set.

However, mountain passes with little to nonexistent traffic and unlabeled speed limits are the exception (most especially 1-lane mountain pass roads).

What I hate most are the people who speed in straight roads but drive excessively slow (like, granny slow) whenever there's a damn turn.

Depends on the location. Cops usually hang around the same spot in my area and I do usually speed. I've been driving for 4 years and no tickets yet. I don't see that in my future though, unfortunately

speeding on main roads and highways i see no problem with. as long as its not more than 15 over. but residential roads i think you should obey the speed limit signs. most importantly school zones.
