"Where the speed limit is 55 and I'm supposed to slam on brakes because they want to cross the street in their own slow time."

Are you talking about "streets" or "curvy country roads".

If you are on curvy country roads, going around curves at 55 mph may not be such a great idea no matter what the posted speed. You might just hit a deer, or anything else crossing the road along with any country folk crossing the road.

Thing is safety is the responsibility of the car driver and if you are able to see how slowly someone is moving ahead of you, having to slam your brakes on means you are going too fast.

I'm still willing to go for a walk on a country road with you

Lol you're trying to say that safety isn't also the responsibly of the "walker"? We will just have to agree to disagree. And I drive just fine. This was about what aggravates me and it does. That is all.

Sure let's go for a walk. Lol

I hate when people get mad, upset, whatever but instead of TELLING you what they are mad, upset, whatever about, they just give you the silent treatment! Why not just tell me what I did wrong instead of acting dumb???????

It really annoys me when I'm driving down the highway doing the speed limit and a car on a side road decides to pull out in front of me, causing me to hit my brakes if I can't change lanes! Then they drive really slow! WTF???? The speed limit on the highway is 55 and I'm doing just that, so why take a chance and pull out in front of me like that? What if I was a jerk and didn't give a shit and I smashed into you?

OMG I SO agree with you! IF they feel a need to pull out, then for godsakes they should hit their gas pedal to the metal not doddle like an old fool!
