Why do people drive so slow.! Your allowed 10k's over the limit, so use it.

Just becauseyou won't get a ticket for upto ten k does not mean you should. Its to allow for Speedo accuracy, slopes all of which affect your ability to sit on one constant digit for speed.
Just allow ample time to get to you're destinations.

that funny most car drivers cant keep up with trucks anyway you get them roar passed you on a passing lane then slow down usualy complaining that the truck is right up there arse thats because they are driving under 90ks

what i dont understand is people who go 80 - 90 in a 100 and then hit a 70 and they still go 80 - 90! theyre afraid of going 100+ but dont mind breaking the speed limit or something!

"100 ks is not a target" they say. I find it sort of is, it's the speed you aim at limiting yourself to innit! I'm usually staying down to it, not speeding up to it.

My old truck b trsin was limited to 95 and guaranteed everytime I went kaikoura coast, sh2 south of bombays, north end of desert road I'd catch the usual fuckwit who had to pass me on the straight but don't know how to corner. Easiest way to cope with all the townies on the open road at Xmas is to ride a motorbike.

Went Rotorua/Karaka and back yesterday,traffic was great,most of the way up always on 100/110ks going up 27,coming back mostly the same through Hamilton.Even Murray in his old Dodge towing the retro caravan was doing 100ks.Lots of classic cars out to.

because going faster than 100 is supposedly dangerous
but if your doing 90 in a 70 - your not dangerous
its the logical conclusion you reach using the retarded "speed kills" mentality

the ONLY way to cope with Xmas traffic!

try living in South Aucks, they drive around at 40 then slow down even futher when they see you behind them but speed up & get agro when you try to overtake. the only other time the '40 or less' rule is ignored is when facing an amber or red light then its floor it through the lights & to hell with everyone else

We townies, with motorways around us are used to travelling at 100kph!
It's the country bumpkins who have never seen a roundabout before, or those who who have never had to deal with more than one lane of traffic, and hog the right lane even when not overtaking; or, those who have no idea why cars are fitted with rear view mirrors, that are the problem.

You are generalising, it makes me wonder about you city drivers when the one that started this thread did not know how to pay the toll.
