    Default how to drive! (opinion)

    tell everyone how to drive! heres my opinion..and how i drive

    1.around town, i dont go over 3000rpm or over 45mph (better on gas, more relaxing, dont have to worry about "getting caught")
    2.highway-i go slow.. i do 60.. that is at 3000rpm. i like to stay under 3000rpm most of the time....i just stay in the slow lane...it does get to me (everyone passing me) but i get over it.
    3. ppl cut you off or pull out in front of you= this is hard,you want to yell aand scream, but maybe a honk is sufficient...i used to go crazy, but just dont let it get to you!

    alright guys, your turn....criticise me

    I generally just drive with the flow of traffic... If someone is going 80, I'll go 75... I never want to be the "leader" of the speeding pack.

    i tend to go about 10 over, sometimes less, sometimes more, but i mean, really, it all depends where you are, sometimes goin to the speed limit is more dangerous than goin over, so i try to stick w/ the rest of traffic usually

    Trying too hard is never good man, just let people respond on their own. Refrain from coercing people to reply and it'll be all good.

    It's all about timing man your threads. Besides, forum isn't too active right now so don't expect alot of activity in your thread.
