Most people driving around 60mph?! Clearly you don’t live in Rhode Island 😂🤣

Edit: for clarity

Hah I could take this both ways. Rush hour definitely less. Normal day, sure south of EG you’re doing 75-80, but I’d say it averages out.

Driving from my mother in law’s in Westerly to Cranston when we lived there it was a pretty consistent 45 minutes. 10 on backroads, 30-35 highway (which is right in line with 31 to 33 for the Cranston exit now)

You're going the wrong way.

I’m not sure what you mean

Ok how bout this...... You're going the wrong wayyyyyyyyy. It's a reference that didn't hit once, so I doubt it will make sense to you. .

Assuming it’s from planes trains and automobiles (at least that’s what came up), I haven’t seen that yet unfortunately.

I have seen clips that were pretty good, I probably should give it a watch

That’s pretty slow… I think I’ve made it back from Westerly to PVD in 30-35 minutes a few years back. Hell, I made it back from IKEA to PVD in 33 minutes.

I've gotten to Providence from Newport in 35 minutes. I have chronic lead foot syndrome with a perfect driving record. No tickets, nadaaaa. Got to Narragansett from Pawtucket yesterday in about 25. When you get in the fast lane, I looked down at my odometer, at one point on I-95S, I'm 4th of a train of 6 cars all going the same-ish speed. That speed being 96mph by the exits down by Warwick 😅 WE GO VROOM VROOM and we had a Honda Pilot pass allllll of us while he was chitchatting away on his phone. 😅 #RIDrivingPros

As long as you use your indicators I’m perfectly happy. XD

It feels like I’m not even moving when I’m going 50-60. 70 seems normal and 90 feels like I’m moving. I don’t know how people manage to drive so slow AND have no situational awareness. Like you see a fast car coming up behind , you’d think “oh let them go merge over”, but nope they’re like “I’m going to brake right when you get close and there’s nothing in front of me to brake for.”
