do you speed?

You and me both. As one of the courteous yet aggressive drivers, I agree with this guy completely. I've had to tone down my speeding as of late (1+ year ticket free ) but nowadays if I'm on the highway I'll only speed if everyone else is doing it around me, but more often than not I come across these drivers in the left hand lane going just fast enough to create a "rolling roadblock", which I hate. Like the guy said they feel like they're going fast enough for the both of us, instead of just getting out of my way.

I feel like even though I speed I am always courteous when the need arises. Anytime I'm speeding I'm always watching the other cars on the road, because here in NoVa you can't help but distrust all the other drivers due to high volume of bad decisions they make. I always use turn signals, I rarely run up on people's bumpers (the only time it happens is when they see me coming and turn into my lane to cut me off) and if people need to make a last minute turn or something I usually let them over. It's just amazing how many bad drivers there are on the road though, I wish I lived in the countryside or somewhere with less traffic.
