Why do people purposely drive slow by default?
Driving to work this morning, a car driving 80 on a 100 road. It's straight, wide, good condition etc. But for some odd reason drives at 80 and holds everyone up. Can't overtake as it's one lane and people coming from the opposite direction.
Then driving home, on an 80 road, someone doing the same thing but going 60. We then turn onto a new road that is 50, they drop to 40 and proceed to not go above 40. But don't slow down further for speed bumps lol. It really does confuse me.
I know it's a limit not a target. But when conditions are safe enough to do so e.g visibility, weather, road conditions, hazards, view ahead. Then I think you should be building up to the speed limit and helping the flow of traffic.
