You have to earn it first by always driving 10 mph under the speed limit, unless you're merging onto the freeway, then you will need to go 35mph under the speed limit. Don't forget to always be in the fast lane. Idk what it is about Subaru owners, but they're the slowest motherfuckers on the road, even worse than the Prius owners.

Where do you live? In CO on the highways I always get tailgated by Subaru's while speeding. I used to own one so I know they're basically red lining it but they're still flying along

Probably someplace Subarus are ubiquitous and driving under the limit happens a lot, it just happens you see more Subarus doing it because, well, lots of Subarus.

Where I live there always seems to be a tool going 5-10 under. Wouldn’t matter that much except it’s a metro area and just a couple of these clowns can really mess up traffic.

I'm in the Seattle area.

I moved from cali to seattle and the difference in driving between the two is astonishing

I want to buy a bulldozer and push everyone off the road. Everyone drives like they're completely stoned, with no place to go... which is probably actually the case.

It's almost like it's selection bias

where i live, it's nissans. especially qashqai. i could swear those are physically unable to reach even 70% of the speedlimit. that's the only vehicle you never see tailgating you. merging onto the highway behind them is scary because you are going 40 km/h where others are coming 100 km/h behind you.

Yeah the highway thing is wack. Apparently a lot of people are afraid to drive at highway speeds. They should just stay off the highway if that's the case.

My 2017 outback has a 3km/h speedo error. Most cars have a 5km/h error. Where I live the slow lane runs at 95 in hundred zones and the fast lane at 100 to 105

We do still have idiots who stop at the end of an entry ramp after falling to merge at a third of traffic speed, but they're in all sorts of cars
