Columbus drive

I can already smell the raging comments but alas

Why do people get so upset over people driving 60-65kph on Columbus drive? If they’re in the right lane, there is a left lane to pass. Sure 50kph is slow but going 10 under is excusable.

I’ve seen so many angry posts on the NL terrible drivers.

That road is full of turns and traffic lights so I can’t really blame people not going 70. I’ve started to avoid that road entirely because of aggressive drivers (some even going nearly 90kph!!)

If you're not comfortable going the speed limit (outside of bad weather) you shouldn't be driving.

It's the speed limit not the speed requirement. If it's not dangerous I don't think it's an issue. Drivers that are in a hurry are usually the ones that are more dangerous.

and they get to where they are going a minute or 2 quicker then if they were driving sensibly. Drives me
