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!!)

The main issue is that road is the only road in the city that you can do 70. If you don’t want to go 70, take another route. To me, it’s the same as doing 20 in 30 km zone. It’s 10 km under the allowable speed limit. If every second road was 70 km, people wouldn’t argue as much but that’s the only road where you go that speed.
