I take it easy and drive in the slow lane, I’m in no hurry.

I don’t drive over the speed limit and I’m allowed to use the fast lane if/when I feel like it. If that annoys other people, too bad. They must be speeding.0 Votes

I never notice what anyone else is doing and I don’t know why people always honk at me.0 Votes

I just go with the flow of traffic which may require the fast lane at times.

I abide by the 'speed limit +10%' rule. This typically means I'm in the fast lane.

As I have been told by the popo there is no cushion in Arkansas.

I go 4 over or 9 over. I use the fast lane to pass or to let vehicles on if it's clear.

Typically in town I'll drive the speed limit.

On the highway it depends. I'll usually drive 5-7 over. Though if its a 75 mph zone which was very common in Texas and is the speed limit of the HWY between Lawton and OKC I will usually just go maybe 1 or 2 over. Avoid going 80 overall.

I don't mind driving on the HWY between cities but when I get in the city and traffic picks up I get very anxious.

How do you keep from getting run over in Texas staying under 80?

I'm the overly cautious driver that always lets people go and makes them nervous and confused, and drives slightly under the speed limit at all times.

Driving terrifies me

I used to be pretty nervous in the city especially.

They are nuts. That last 40 miles before you get into houston is the worst. 90 mph is the flow of traffic.

I'll speed up but stay in the slow lane.

They have nice roads. Oklahoma and MO don't have roads that are decent enough for me to want to go above 80.

Yup it's so obvious when you get into OK because the roads turn to shit

I drove all the way through ok to Texas and back a couple of years ago and had to get my car realigned when I got home.
