    Match the flow of traffic.

    Honestly the fact that this is (rightly) taught in schools but not considered a viable defense if you're pulled over for speeding is the biggest bullshit

      If I were a conspiracy minded individual I’d say it’s because it gives the police a valid reason to pull over pretty much anyone at any time and even give a ticket if they can’t find an excuse to do more

      Fuck off, as I posted above, this attitude makes you as a driver safer but makes every car more dangerous to someone walking.

        1. My comrade in Christ I don't drive. I never even got my driver's license.

        2. Aren't the contexts in which you're going to have to speed in order to match the flow of traffic, i.e. highways, largely devoid of pedestrians?

          It should but doesn't and I live on a 50km/hr 4 lane road, so the difference is negligible in the cases I'm referring to. The Stroad is a beast.
