Never stopped or ticketed for such actions. Even with a cop, looking right at me with radar, on an empty road. Only been ticketed for 11-12+ when not paying attention on 45 mph speed traps.

Amazing how that extra 1+ mph more over suddenly turns you into a horrible speeder.

Let's focus less on how people speed and more on how they: Run red lights, run stop signs, can't use a turn signal, can't use a four-way, can't use a a roundabout, OR drive dangerously slow, impeding traffic (especially in the left lane on highways.)

And that is my rant for the day.

Exactly, I was Driver's Ed teacher for 10 years and just quit last year. More wrecks are caused by running red lights or not using the blinker. And actually, people going too slow cause more wrecks. It is like the stick in mud in the river, pretty soon, something is going to come down the river and snap you off.

I would tell my students, whatever you do, don't go slow up an onramp to the freeway. You have got to be doing their speed or better to make a smooth merge. Faster is better than slower. You can slow down faster than you can speed up.
