Saw an old lady getting out of a BMW X7 M60i (the high performance version). I asked her what made her choose the M60i and she just said “I dunno, the salesman said it was the best one they had”.

        It upsets people and is actually illegal to drive too slow. Makes other people angry, they take risks to overtake you, and could cause accidents.

        This is in our official driving school books even.

        If you are not comfortable driving at speed limit, you need to learn that. Its part of being a good driver. Of course depending on weather.

        If your speed differs drastically from the traffic flow, you’re a hazard. If you’re unable to adjust your speed to your surroundings, you shouldn’t be driving.
