This is unsafe and rude.

[BETHELONIA]

@SkateSurfSnowMedia Um, please tell me how driving the speed limit is unsafe and rude?

[SkateSurfSnowMedia]

@BETHELONIA I'm glad to:

Unsafe because:

-You should go w/ the flow of traffic

-You slowed down when the speed limit changed from 65 to 60 which could cause an accident as most people dont notice that (I know its stupid but true)

Rude because:

-You are making people slow down (impeding traffic flow), which is fine if the person is a complete ass but all the traffic is doing that speed therefore you are impeding everyone

-You could have at least slowed down to 60 slower, most people are going...

@SkateSurfSnowMedia You should check with the Va State Trooper who gave me a reckless driving ticket and see if he thinks driving the speed limit is "unsafe and rude". I am cured, I don't speed anymore, I drive the speed limit. The price of a lawyer and court costs and fines will sometimes do that to you. It's not fun, however, as is evident in my video, but unsafe and rude? Whatever :)

The driver is showing that if you drive the speed limit in these areas around Fairfax county you will be over taken by other drivers. I recently got pulled over for going 73 on a 55 close to here, but most of these other drivers must have been going way over that. I get to visit the county judge and face possible criminal charges because going over 20 miles over the speed limit in this area gets you automatic reckless driving charge. This out-of-towner didn't know that! So haters, wake up!

@joelitoom Hi Joelitoom, that's the reason I made this video a few years ago, I too got a reckless driving ticket for going 83 in a 55 on that part of I66 in Fairfax. Now I'll admit 83 is a bit extreme, but I seriously only went that fast for a few seconds, most of the time (Driving from Luray to Falls Church) I was going 5-10 mph over the limit, but trust me when I say I picked the wrong few seconds to accelerate around some slow drivers. I think it cost me total of about $600.

good driving. but, you can go 65-70. and you know you're going a little slow when a Tractor Trailer passes you

It looks like a well designed highway. The speed limit is set at an artificially low level. The police act as revenue collectors. Increase the speed limit to an appropriate level.

Hey, Just a question, what does the word "Limit" mean?

Also, I'm glad to see that the driver, who obeys the law, does not drive in the far left lane with their blinker on and the rear-view mirror pointed at their face so they can check their makeup.

People who make the conscious decision to break the law should not be catered to by those who choose to follow the rules of the road. SO skatesurfsnowmedia, check your attitude at the door and head out onto the public roads with safety in mind.

Please who drive arrogant, that is to say 20-30 miles over the posted limit on a regular basis, eventually wind up either getting in an accident, getting a very serious traffic ticket, or getting killed. I knew someone personally who died on I-81, going 103 and lost control as they tried to pass a truck. People who drive this why probably also have some kind of issue in their own lives which is why they drive that way.

If you are going slower than traffic, that's fine, just keep right and there should be no problems. 

[SkateSurfSnowMedia]

@Brandon3060 Then all drivers should be taken off the road by your logic

[Brandon3060]

@SkateSurfSnowMedia

This tells me one thing, the fines for speeding aren't tough enough. If we live in a world were following the speed limit is considered unsafe and rude then the fines need to be increased and drivers like you need to be taken off the road.

@BETHELONIA 75 causing people to slow down rapidly
