in some cities such as LA, i found it safest to simply drive at the same speed as everyone else. obviously adjust for merging, passenger lanes etc but on those roads being the slowest can actually a danger to yourself and others.
glad i don’t need to do this any more in my current city, just two cents
They teach you in driver’s education that you should match speed on the highway. Otherwise you impede the flow of traffic which causes far more problems.
Yup. If it gets too out of hand, they’ll do a traffic break to slow everyone down. But going a significantly different speed than everyone else is something you try to avoid.
This is exactly what you should be doing. Matching speed with traffic is always the safest option. If you’re going slower than everyone else, you’re creating a hazard, almost as much as if you’re weaving through traffic.
