There are problems with some drivers speeding. I don't mind a speeder (9-10 miles over the speed limit) as such but I do mind a reckless speeder
However there are also problems associated with drivers who intentionally go well under the speed limit. Some of these drivers are extremely over cautious appearing to lack confidence in their judgments. My attention greatly increases when around drivers such as this
It is especially irritating to have a driver pull to the left lane on a divided headway ( such as 466 or 466A ) blocking traffic flowing at 45mph when they are driving 30 mph. In my view 466 & 466A ought to be 55mph. I suppose there are some residents here gasping for air at my suggestions.
I believe in following the speed limit. If a driver prefers to travel under the speed limit on 466 &466A at least be courteous and travel in the right lane. And, don;t get me started on those drivers Rio Grande and Del Mar  |
They are probably planning on turning left sometime in the distant future; maybe in 5 or 10 miles.
