I am a careful driver in the city, with cars and people everywhere. I will go under the speed limit. On the highway Im a "Hold on Nellie" driver!

I think the "Move ooutta my way sissy's am coming through" suits me on the way home from work. Other than that I go 10-15 over the limit!

I picked "other" cause I'm more of a "road rage" type of driver. I'm not super fast and I'm not super slow. I just want stupid people to get the HELL OUT OF MY WAY!!!

Ticks me off when people don't know the road rules, or can't make up their freakin mind as to where they're going. IF YOU DON'T KNOW - PULL OVER AND FIGURE IT OUT THERE!
Phew! Thanks! I feel much better now.

I chose "other". Maybe it's regional, but the normal speed around here is 5-10 MPH above the speed limit. Except on the interstate, then it's 10-20. I usually go along with the speed of traffic, or 5-10 MPH over (that's also the line the cops use to draw the line for tickets
).

Same here, except I voted the 10-20 one. My dad's excuse for driving fast was, "I'm just keeping up with traffic" and now it's my excuse too.

I used to drive and I used to love driving.
Since the last accident though, I've had mild to severe anxiety attacks when I drive regardless of traffic conditions.
I have given up driving except in the event of a dire emergency.

I chose other. It's normal to find me either at speed limit or 5 to 10 over but never 10 to 20!
Besides I would probably pass out if I was ever pulled over!

I used to be a very fast driver. But then I was pulled over for doing 33 km/hr over the speed limit and the very nice police officer let me off with a warning...so I learned my lesson and now will only go about 5 over

I'm at the speed limit or just over. Don't want to be pulled over for speeding, either.

I usually go at least 20-30kms over the speed limit
I HATE slow driving
I normally go 80 in a 50 zone no problem.

I guess thats the SISSY category..

And I also tend to have major road rage....lol.

My first husband was a cop, and he was sitting off the side of the road, kind of in some bushes but not really, waiting for speeders. He clocked one doing 87 in a 55, so on went his lights and sirens and ZOOOOM , off he went in hot pursuit! Too bad he didn't take his car out of reverse!!
I don't think he ever lived that one down at the station!

I picked "I don't drive" because here in LA I don't. People here are crazy.

I drove when I lived in Georgia and when I was a teen I drove pretty crazy, but then I leveled out. No more than 10 miles over the limit.

Just how much will it raise my rates?
