Need for speed!!

I went out for lunch the other day with a friend and not knowing the way to the restaurant I opted to follow her in my car.

When we got there she said I drove too slow.

I don't get it. I drive to the speed limit. In our house because of the boy's obsessions and disabilities we have to drive at the speed limit as Mark jnr would freak out if he thought we'd broken a rule. Both hubby and I drive at the speed limit and yet both of us are often told we drive too slow.

Is speeding an expectation??

Unfortunately, it would appear so. Whe I borrow hubby's car, I set the cruise control to the speed limit, and it is surprising how many cars line up behind you. :lol:

I try to stick to the speed limits all the time, but in my car with no cruise, I do tend to get swept along with the traffic. I know that is not a good thing, and it is not something I'm proud of. My next car will definitely have cruise control, even if I have to buy an older car to afford it!! :P

Most people speed, I tend to if am on a long stretch of open road (motorways etc.,) I must admit but what annoys me is when people tailgate me when I am going faster than I should be anyway. I usually slow down just to piss them off.

I don't....Honest!

For one the boys wouldn't allow it and for two, the rules are there for a reason. I would be sooo embarassed if I ever got a speeding ticket and with Mark junior in the house I'd never live it down.
