Perhaps driving slow is not always safe

Whenever I hear people talk of driving , many of them favor driving safe is the key for driving safe and I usually contradict with them all. The average speed of the road should be adapted by any communters and at the same time I see even on honking, people usually wont give room to overtake . I am not so terrible in honking as much as I notice drivers who just do so hard that anyone could turn impatient to strike a fight , this is one of the reason of road rage. While there is green signal indicating that vehicles can cross , I bet it is the very moment even pedestrians also cross the road in a direction that blocks the traffic again. I have noticed in majority of the intersections there is a lack of lane discipline as well. How is the traffic in your area , do you struggle with congestion while running to office in peak hours ??

With all construction and metro work going on I have given up traffic since March this year. I panic.

@amadeo this sounds very good . For us if the schools are closed then it may relieve roads being monopolized by buses only for a determined window of time.

@ShifaLk As long as the construction sustains I feel the traffic would remain congested .Besides if you put up near the highway then traffic would not be the same as other downtown areas.

If you don't like drive fast, than choose slower road or road with less traffic. Don't slow down others.
