speeding

Exhausted said "don't forget all the other idiots that don't know how to drive from 20 to 65 years old

My husband went through a yellow light as I was telling him not too. Cop right there and stopped him. my hubby said I told him not to. The cop didn't give him a ticket just told to listen to his wife and never go through a yellow light again.

All rules of the road apply to everyone. If someone is going 50 that is the correct speed. I don't care where you are going or if you are late. LEAVE EARLIER.

To the mother: if you feel the need to speed change your arrangements instead of breaking the law. "
No one said anything about speeding. There are no alternative arrangements to make either. Show me a daycare that is open at 6:30 am and closes at 6pm and can get the kids to school as well! There isn't one, there is no family support. I would love nothing more than to have other options, but i don't. I can make it without issue if people are driving 50, not 35-40 and hitting every red light, not pulling to the side when turning, etc.
I just want to be able to drive 50 in a 50. That's not that much to ask.

don brown said "I don’t believe that driving below the speed limit shows a lack of confidence while driving. Just talking for myself, but last week right around 8 am, I turned off the trans Canada onto 18th and varied my speed so that I did not have to stop once straight through to park avenue where I made a right turn. Braking and accelerating hard uses more gas than continuing moving at a slightly reduced speed. If you are reading the lights ahead, as well as traffic flow, and pedestrian corridors, driving the speed limit at all times will result in you having numerous stops.
A horn on a automobile is a warning device, don’t think that you are supposed to use it to warn someone you are mad, or impatient. "
That is how we drive, so yes there are times when we will be driving below posted speed limit to time getting to a light when it turns green instead of having to stop.

You said no one said anything about speeding. Quote from your earlier message. "It causes more accidents driving 30-40 because people are angry and will change lanes without looking, speed, etc ".

This whole discussion can be boiled down to the fact that there are some pathetic and very poor drivers in Brandon!
