You are not taught not to break speed limits, you are taught to keep up with the flow of traffic. Feeding the wheel, I don't do that all the time, some situations do call for it (my Grandad does it all the time, makes me giggle but slows him down something terrible).

And if you sit at 75 mph in a Civic, your actually doing 70 mph due to the speedo being 5mph out (well it is on mines) but that lowers the consumption.

I'm right pain the bum when it comes to rules of the road, due to the fact I don't want pulled over and if they do pull me over it will have to be for something good.
I'm sure some people do stick to all of the rules all of the time, I'm also fairly sure that these people are few and far between...

Can't say that I've ever been subject to a good experience when being pulled over by the boys in blue, even if I've done nothing wrong (which admittedly isn't all of the time)
