Poll question: How do you react when stuck behind a driver going UNDER the speed limit?

You might tag "when you're late" on the end of that for dramatic purposes.

7. People should go under the speed limit!
It's not the minimum speed one should drive, it's the maximum speed that is permissable

10. I get into the left lane and pass them
Unless they ARE in the left lane, macthing sub-speed-limit speed of traffic to their right, and not limited by cars in front of them.

Such people are alive ONLY because killing them is illegal.

12. I'm OK with it, since I'm that driver!
I have been a slow driver since my big wreck a few years ago.

16. I have made a conscious decision in the last couple years
to drive the speed limit. I did it cause I was tired of feeling like I had to hurry everywhere. I need to slow down in every aspect of my life and that includes driving.

I do however try to stick to the limit as opposed to driving under it. But as someone earlier said, the speed limit is the maximum not the minimum.

:)

20. Ring my bell at them
I'm on a bike, and there's no way to get around them. Especially, when they're drifting from one side to the other.
