Getting honked at for following rules?

Question

Hello. Currently the expressway near my home their is major construction going on so the speed limits been changed to 70km (43 miles) I still want to obey the traffic laws but go with the flow of traffic so I go around 5-10 over keep with the flow. Today as I was driving I got flipped off an honked at because the way I was driving some other cars were still going 100km (62 mile) which is against the law with the heavy construction in the area. Was I justified in getting honked/flipped off even though many drivers still drive normal speed limit 100km??

I was in the right hand lane but then it changed into one lane and I kept the flow of traffic but I could see some cars (the fast ones) getting really angry behind me.

Answer 1

would u rather be safe and have cars be mad at you or do what the cars want u to do and be dead? i mean, just follow the rules, and don't worry about other cars honking at u. safety comes first

Answer 2

Those other drivers were really being very stupid. First they honk at you simply because they feel inconvenienced that they have to slow down. And also, they were speeding through a construction zone which is especially stupid and reckless. There was no excuse for them to be honking at you when you were simply doing it right.

Answer 3

s***w them! You are being a responsible driver.I work in the construction industry, on the highway, and nothing worries me more than some idiot who should have gotten started earlier, driving like an *** besause they're late! To those people: GET YOUR ACT TOGETHER! It's under construction and it will be that way until it's finished!

You're doing the right thing. Continue.

Answer 4

if it was one lane where were they going to go. I wouldn't worry about it.<

Answer 5

You were definitely correct as long as you weren't in the passing/fast lane.  The honking drivers were being jerks.  

Answer 6

fines double in work zones double the $$ and points. flip them off back!! if you get pulled over you are at fault and you take the heat not them. keep up the safe driving

Answer 7

You did nothing wrong at all, you are one of the few one the road that understands the rules of the road....
