Default Pass or get passed

Are you more likely to pass other drivers or be passed by other drivers?

I am rarely passed by other drivers. I don't believe that I drive irresponsibly, I tend to drive about 9 miles over the speed limit whereas most other are only 5 over. There is occasionally the idiot doing 100+ that blows by me like I’m standing still, but the majority of the time, I’m doing the passing.

What about you?

I tried to vote too, but it will not let me.

I'm a 50/50 guy.

I'm about 50/50. I prefer to be behind then to be pushed so I only pass if I think I'm really gonna put some space between us.

50/50 here. I don't like having to tailgate anybody to keep up to speed. Too close and it cuts your distance vision off. I like to see whats happening up ahead.

Where I ride there is usually no where to pass. Even when I ride to work I have never passed anyone or been passed and this is an 18 mile drive each way. I go whatever speed the person in front of me is going whether that is 15 mph over the speed limit or 15 mph below the speed limit.
