I am 100% serious. It is unjust that I, as an immigrant to this country who can be deported if I commit crimes, have to violate the posted law in order to keep up with the flow of traffic.
- quantified 2y agoI know quite a few people, and I was once one myself, who simply keep to the limit. You can assert your right to drive only the speed limit, you have that.
- Cheer2171 2y agoThat is what I do, because politicians in my jurisdiction constantly talk about "law and order" and being a "nation of laws", in addition to much anti-immigration rhetoric. I still get tailgated, honked at, and road raged. Often by a large pickup truck.
- quantified 2y agoYes, it takes a bit of fortitude to stand against something similar to peer pressure. Modeling behavior, like fully stopping at stop signs, always using blinkers, getting your passengers to use their belts, etc. can take a bit of a mindset. Ultimately, lawbreakers will break laws. Just like the trope of getting a gun illegally.
- archagon 2y agoPeer pressure is one thing. But tailgaters and road ragers could put your life in danger.

After 10 miles over, the tickets get expensive, and the police have more of a reason to pull you over. 7 mph accounts for speedometer errors and makes you part of the pack but not the speediest. Make your car look respectable; Like it's driven by a person who could contest a ticket. If pulled over: Be polite but not obsequious. When asked, immediately admit to going 7 miles over as a matter of fact so you don't get tailgaters. You'll most likely get a warning.
