On a rural country road a person can’t step out in front of your car because the road generally has about twenty or thirty feet of clearance on both sides. If the road is literally so narrow that there’s trees right beside the car, same as a tight city street full of parked cars, then I’ll definitely go 20 mph there.

I’m armed so any rednecks want to give me shit for going too slow next to their kids they can deal with my own inner redneck.

I’m not going to go faster than is safe, period.
