That's pretty much how I feel. If anything, I'd think I'm less safe if I'm constantly checking to make sure I'm not going too fast and slowing down when I see I am than I would be if I'm just driving at a comfortable speed and not worrying about potentially getting pulled over because that speed is 80-85.

There's that, and I also feel safer driving a bit faster than most everyone else - it puts nearly all potential problems in front of me.

Problems that happen behind and away from you don't effect you on the road.

so is the fact that ohio issued more more speeding tickets. i really wasnt trying to be serious.
