I just do the damn speed limit... that's what it's there for.

Beyond that, I don't care if you came up behind me like a jerkoff or like a guy who was only going faster because his tires are slightly newer than mine (larger circumference) and our speedo's aren't calibrated to each other precisely. I do not speed up, I do not slow down.

The two exceptions to this rule:

No posted speed limit. I drive 45, max. Usually closer to 35, depending on road condition.

Highways with 65+ speed limits - Yup, you guessed it. I'm the a$$hole in the right lane doing 55-60, and no faster (unless I coast faster.)

I'm nice enough to have my hazard lights on if I'm doing 45 or less, as long as I'm more than 10mph less than posted, but it doesn't happen often.
