It's true, I deal with this every day. I'm one of those "weird" people who actually try to go the speed limit. I don't go slow; I stay within 1-3 mph over or under the speed limit. In my country, I am a freak and a reject because of this.

People are constantly tailgating me or passing me going 10 miles an hour over the speed limit. I'm very vengeful, too. If someone tailgates me I slow down to like 20-30 mph below the speed limit. It really pisses them off, but I think they deserve it for not passing me.

I'm sure if I lived in a big city, i'd be forced to speed on a daily basis just to keep up with the flow of the traffic. My city is fairly small, though.
