Answer 1

that bumper sticker is funny but it could be that the needel that tells the limit is wrong my dads was 4 miles less

Answer 2

Go whatever speed is good for you, just don't go unser the minimum speed limit, cause thats there for safety too. So your not going to slow. You are going the speed limit. Everyone passes me too. I am new at driveing. And They usually look mad, but look to se who is driveing and i am going right at the speed limit usually, so i am fine, Just stay to the right so everyone can pass you, cause thats the lane for cars that want to go the speed limit, lol. =)

Answer 3

They pass you 'cause you drive too slow!

Answer 4

The heck with the people that pass you, you will get better at driving a stick shift car. It takes practice, Good Luck KEEP CRUISING

Answer 5

You drive too slow

Answer 6

If your car slows down when you shift, you need to learn to drive a stick better. If you are getting passed all the time, stay to the right and they have no reason to get mad. Besides, you will never see these people again so who cares if they pass you and are irritated?

Answer 7

It sounds like you are inexperienced driving a stick shift.

There should be no reason for your car to slow down when shifting.

Answer 8

driving a stick is hard and tricky, but i would stay on the right hand lane because it's a slow lane (no offense). Your hand and left foot has to work together. The way i remember to drive a stick is: step on clutch with left foot and shift from 2nd to 3rd gear, then let go at the same time

Answer 9

they pass you because they are impatient and enjoy wasting gas...

Answer 10

I agree with the other answers, make sure your speedo is correct, (Have a friend in front or behind you, pace them, call and check speed, set a speed before you go, whatever you have to do) and when you shift.. (assuming you know how to drive a stick correctly) if your car slows down enough for other people to notice and actually pass you... you should probably have that checked.
