Driving the SPEED LIMIT vs SPEEDING - How much time does it save?

[@traincentral1940]

In my opinion, I don't think speeding is time saving when you're on roads with a lot of stoplights. I've seen people that speed make one light then get stopped at the next. Then you end up right next to them at that signal. seconds later. So I think speeding is useless on main roads. On freeways, I think speeding does save time if it's not rush hour.

[@seanthe100]

That's the worst! You feel embarrassed, but sometimes you're the only car that makes the yellow light and that feeling is pure exhilaration so it may be worth it.

I do a trip to Kansas City every year that’s 760 miles one way and I’m normally doing 80-90 mph. My last trip I set my Cruise control on 72 mph made it within 30 minutes of the old time. There was fewer stops because I could go farther on a tank of gas and every gas stop will take 15 minutes. So now the high speed travel is out for me.

[@calebowen2006]

Definitely car dependent for sure but makes sense in your situation

[@jens_hatje]

Fuel efficiency is also affected by how fast or slow as you drive. Most gasoline powered cars are most efficient around 90km/h (55-ish mph). Driving slower than this uses more fuel for less distance driven, and driving faster also uses more fuel. Also, the more often you have to start again after stopping at a light, also uses more fuel. The longer you can drive 90-ish (55-ish) the better your fuel economy will be. At least that's how I've understood things. Seems to work out, because before covid lockdown, my drive to work would make me fuel up once every 13 to 14 days. During covid lockdown (I am an essential worker), my trip to work was less congested and I got many more green lights, meaning I drove longer without stopping, and I found I was filling up every 14 to 16 days over my 30 minutes drive to work. Now that our lockdown is over, I find I'm back to using more fuel for the same trip, and having to deal with more traffic and lights stopping me. So there's something to this, I suppose.

[@handlebendover]

you shouldMake a book on how to save gas This is what Ive heard but don't know if it's true or not because I have not tested on how to save gas : Accelerate slowly at low rpm Letting off the gas pedal on downhill Driving behind a semi trailer Using Cruse control to stay at a steady rpm + gas pedal without it getting too high or to low but only works on straight roads not hilly roads Braking. Slow too Keeping the steering wheel straight + switching lanes slower or as few as possible ?

In my country the speed limit in cities is generally 50 KM/H (~31 mph) but it's acceptable to speed close to 60, but not reaching 60. Tried going exactly at 50 and kept getting overtaken all the time and got honked at dozens of times.

[@davidduncan1362]

The posted speed limit in my hometown is 40 MPH and the extreme bottom of sixth gear in my vehicle is exactly 40 MPH, so I cheat a little, picking up some extra speed for that leeway, so I can stay in sixth gear. My car is an automatic transmission and I have been driving it in sport manual mode, where I control the gears, most of the time.

The thing people often don't realise is that the biggest factor in your travel time is your environmental conditions, not the speed you choose to travel at. Those things include road condition, the speed of traffic, the amount and design of intersections, the weather, traffic lights, stop signs, and so on. On the very buttom of that list is your speed decisions. But, humans being humans, people wanna think that they can beat physics. A trip from a to b is gonna take that much time, nothing much you can do about it. The best decision is to try and reduce the risks involved in getting there, not to try and shave a 1% of the time off.

I remember driving to El Paso under the 55. It was majorly stressful, with everyone trying to go exactly 64MPH and police cars behind every bush, hill and rock. It took about 12 hours to get there and it was exhausting. Now the speed limit is 80. No one to speak of is jockying for position and most of the time you can drive up to about 90 (assuming your vehicle, abilities and the weather are appropriate). Now it takes about 7 hours, and that is allowing an hour for fuel and other stops. Before when I got to El Paso it was all anyone expected to do just to get your luggage in and get to bed. Now it is possible to relax a bit with a sit down dinner and take a swim before bed, or push on. I made as far as Benson AZ, but that was as hard as getting to El Paso was was under the 55. It has got to be safer now.

[@anischab]

Even if you drive 65, your mean speed should be around 50 If you drive faster you could be at 60 (mean) so about one fifth more... This means if you have a 15 min trip, you only gain 3 minutes (one fifth) by driving faster (making it in 12). Therefore it is easier and safer (also stressless coz no ticket LOL) to get out 5 minutes earlier and get to the destination by respecting the maximum speed (posted). Example pretend you drive 50 min fast. If you want to drive stressless, plan 60 min, (one fifth of the time). Naturally a 5 hour trip stressful driving, becomes 6 hours long... easygoing Cheers from Germany

[@brendanfogel4573]

How about lights?

[@steven121290]

It's not always the case, but driving environment happens. Driving slow = more car passing you. More car passing you = higher chances of car accident involving you or someone around you. This has been observed in multiple studies in the past. More accidents around you = significant delays in travel time. Similarly, slow driving = higher chance of stuck behind other slow/conservative drivers (who btw are also the more dangerous drivers due to higher chance of being bad drivers ie people scared of driving/slow reactions). This translates to getting stuck behind even slower drivers, heavy traffic (reducing speed further), hitting more lights, etc. Again, significant delay in travel time. So sure, the math says you don't save much time, but in practice the many different factors often do result in significant time saved. The only scenario of speeding that leads to longer travel time are tickets, which in my experience happens less them everything above. Avoiding all the other garbage is a big reason to drive faster. Also, it allows you to stop hating life momentarily as well. For example, I once missed a major highway block fur to a light pole thing falling down unto the highway by~3-5 minutes. Speeding and saving 3 minutes saved hours of being stuck with nowhere to go, or even potentially being involved in a deadly accident. After heading back 2 hours after the incident, I was able to still see the other side of the highway literally not moving as fire trucks blocked the entire highway working to get rid of the pole.

[@rtdlaboratories]

Thing is, many people seem to miss the reason why people speed (especially those who don't usually speed). Most people don't drive at a hogher speed because it will get them somewhere faster. They drive the speed that is comfortable to drive all conditions considered. For the experienced driver driving is a mostly subconscious task, they don't sit and actively think of every decision they need to make, and speed control is part of that. I live in a less populated area and most of my driving happen on what is essentially the countryside (at least by american standards), and I often end up driving 10 - 15 mph over the speed limit because that's what I find comfortable for most roads and that lets me fully focus on the road and not have to glance at the speedometer all the time. And that's why putting stricter speed restrictions and higher fines doesn't work. You need to design the road for the speed you want.

[@Bus_em]

Love it when speeders race past just to meet them at the light. I just poke along at the limit or a little lower, & pass the one at the light that raced past, while they were sitting at a red light wasting gas & time. then, when the light changes they do the same thing, & I pass them again when the light changes. It must be unnerving to see the same car pass you three or more times, after they've been sitting at the light.

[@jacobduncan8875]

I drive mostly flat ground and still find that people would rather change lanes when coming up on slower traffic than lower traffic than brake. Sometimes I find I'm speeding and they still pass me.

Also...... let's just say you save so much time, like 1 hour off a trip. Random common things happen like a traffic jam from accident, or longer than usually traffic lights.

We will use 20 minutes average. 3 minutes saved. 9 minutes per hour. Driving all day about 12 hours you can save 108 minutes. But is it really worth it?, well.... you burn more fuel, the ride is not as smooth because slower traffic always slows you down, and you're stress levels are higher because you must focus harder and drive more aggressively. Plus the risk of getting pulled over is always at the back of your mind.

On a short drive, freeway or not, speeding is pointless.. If however you need to do big miles between major cities, like I need to do from time to time, and you travel at night, you can significantly increase your fuel economy and shorten the time.. The best I've done from my house to my mum's place (690km away) is exactly 6 hours 30 minutes. Left home at 9:40pm arrived at 4:10am, no stops, bugger all traffic, and only 25 minutes of slow, non-motorway roads.. Average speed was 118kph. Sticking to only the speed limit for that same drive adds a full hour and 20 minutes to that time. As for fuel economy on cruise down the highway, my car gets on average 7lt per 100ks, or about 14ks per litre, which would be around 50mpg if I spoke in 'freedom units'. Here's a little trick, If you know you're gonna be doing big miles, and it's clear weather, add an extra 5 psi to your tyres for that trip..

The time it saves will be dependent on how much over the speed limit you go, it’s called physics

[@Dsoto537]

So let’s do the math. 6 minutes. Tickets. Potentially lose your drivers license. Higher insurance premiums. Higher fuel consumption. Don’t think 🤔 about the safety factor because accidents happen slow or fast. Either way don’t think 6 minutes is worth paying shit ton of money in the long run.

Let's face it folks 6 min could mean the difference between hitting the toilet in time or craping yourself. Holding it in 6 min longer could become unbearable.

[@nealdavis350]

Looks like you should get some gasoline, given that your range is under 150 miles after the trip while speeding. Yikes! Don't run out of gasoline! :-) You don't want to have to walk to a gas station. Don't know the source of the line. :-(

[@Mike23443]

My daily commute (Europe) is about 15 minutes through winding mountain roads. The spee limit is an average of 50 km/h which is around 30 mph. Being mountains it's a pretty tourist infested area. During tourist season the traffic is horrific. Driving as fast a the road will physically allow me i can make the trip in 11 minutes. If I drive the speed limit I do 20 minutes. When it's summer or winter, the traffic extends this to half an hour. I once chose not to overtake a slow driver (going the speed limit), against my better judgment. I then proceeded to watch this alleged human being let about 6 other vehicles get out in front of him including two coaches and a horse drawn wagon. If I had overtaken him, I would have made it before all those calamities befell us. Speeding doesn't just save you time because you drive faster mit save you time because you get out in front of garbage that always slows you down. Just a traffic waves hit in the morning and the afternoon, leaving 5 minutes earlier isn't equal to 5 minutes of saved commute time. It grows exponentially with rush hour intensity. Leaving 5 minutes before rush hour save you 15 minutes. Driving 20 mph faster can save you more than just that speed difference.

[@nicholasbuma8534]

I live in Ontario cottage country. All the city folk come from southern Ontario and travel up north and drive 65 km/ph on 80 km/ph roads. Causes people to get aggressive and make dangerous manoeuvres to pass said slow drivers. Yes, people drive 95 in 80 zones but cops don't care. Please at least drive the speed limit or expect people to drive aggressively around you

[@trowwzers5057]

80km is pretty slow tbh. If you drove that in Michigan, everyone would be passing you up In up north michigan, the speed limit is 65mph (105kmph) and people tend to go 75mph (120kmph). The limit on freeways is 75 and people go 90mph (150kmph) normally. People from the southern part of the state tend to drive way faster than the locals.

[@handlebendover]

That's why the staying in the right lane if you can is a good Idea to prevent speeding manauvers

Say you speed 10mph over limit and it saves you 20min a day times 5 days a week is an hour an 40min. Times 4 weeks. Over 6 and a half hours. Times 12 months thats over 80 hours your wasting! Simple math! Stop wasting 80hours every year going slow!

[@yearginclarke]

But in the context of one day, 20 minutes isn't a hell of alot of time. Not to me anyway. I can't see how 20 extra minutes is realistically gonna do much of anything for me. I'll take the better MPG's and potentially less wear and tear on my tires and overall vehicle any day.

[@GEAUXFRUGAL]

Why not do this 60 mph vs 80 mph. 30 minutes . A mile a minute, @60mph. 20 miles more for a full hour. 30 minutes is ½ of an hour or 10 miles or 10 minutes difference in 30 minutes if you could get free of the butt sniffers.

[@gzlpete]

As by your description, your not very good with math. Even worse your situations were not comparable. You need to compare the same route, at the same time, on the same day of the week. Also in the same direction. Out one way and back the other are just not at all comparable.

[@Brandon-tz2wh]
