Do you tend to drive below, at, or above the legal speed limit?

These situations often depend on the circumstances.
However, this question is asking how you tend to drive under "normal" circumstances (i.e. not running late, not an emergency, vehicle in good working order, etc).

Do you have exceptions to this? What are they?

I tend to drive at the speed limit.

What is with all the options? You ask “below, at, or above” so … I know! This is a trick question, yes that’s it! You are trying to confuse me right? Well it almost worked but I am not falling into your trap! I will ignore everything but the first three choices, HA!

I do drive (that is why I have an answer) exactly at the speed limit, not over not under, so there!

Above.... And I like the slow lane 'cause no one is in it most of the time. They tend to be in the middle lane and the speeders go in the left lane and get impatient when it doesn't move fast enough but that's here in Quebec. I've travelled quite a bit and many highways in the States with 3 to 4 lanes will have these Sunday drivers in all the lanes!! Sheesh!

I drive at and just above. I try not to go over 5 mph over the limit. I hate going right at the limit if everyone else is going faster. The speed of every one else sort-of effects how fast I am going. Not deliberate..it's just natural, I guess.

Today this twatbag was in front of me going ANNOYINGLY slow and I couldnt pass because the person in the other lane was in my way... I let the person in the other lane in front of me and suddenly twatbag speeds up to drag racing degree. I think the person who was in the other lane rode his butt and forced him to speed up. The person moved back over to the other lane and twatbag was WAAAAAAAAAY ahead of me. He was being slow on purpose to be an @$$.

I hate when there is more than one lane and both lanes are annoyingly slow, not letting faster moving people get by.

Just above, but my impression is that I tend to drive slower than other drivers, on average.

I do both. It depends on how I feel about the road and how I'm feeling at the time... and how well I can see. I often drive faster than the speed limit when I feel it's safe. I often drive below it when I feel it's not safe.

Nowadays I drive under the limit to save gas. I can get almost 5mpg better driving 65 in the 70 zones than my previous norm of 75-80mph. Everyone else is flying by me in their big pick-ups and SUV's. Guess the price of gas doesn't bother them.

To me it matters alot these days driving a vehicle that get 20mph at best and driving 5-800 miles a week. It really adds up.

We have lots of those twatbags right here on our highways and they cannot drive worth a dam , they panic !
and get all bent out of shape when it snows on the roads
I come along and show them how to drive on snow and ice and not panic ! or freak out ! like they do

Yes they drive so slow my car might stall or run out of gas if i cannot get around those dam twatbags or douchebags
yes douchebags they are and the biggest twats to drive on the road

It's been quite a few years since I've driven, but when I did I tended to drive very cautiously, slightly below the speed limit. Not actually having a drivers license probably had a lot to do with that.
