Do you drive slower when you have a passenger?
Just curious ... do you guys driver slower / less aggressively when you have a passenger in the car?
I realized that I do ... well, not to the point that I drive like a maniac when driving by myself ...

yes, because they get scared... I think it's because they are not use to being in such a small car; it gives them the illusion of going faster then they really are.

most definatly!! i drive decently fast when im having fun around town and stuff... but not stupidly. if i drove the same way with somebody in the car.. they would either think im just a crazy driver.. or im trying to show off. so i definatly tone it down when others are in the car... also because my car reacts diffently with weight on the other side! : )

if it's their first time in the car, i like to show them what it can do.
now that's hospitality, no?
i actually consider myself one of the slower S2K drivers.
whether i have a passenger or not, i like to take it easy if it's just point A to point B driving.
and yes, i still enjoy the car. in it's sub 6K form and it's over 6K form.

I do, because my passengers don't seem to know the difference between assertive driving and aggressive driving.
I also drive slow when people follow me, because they can't seem to go more than 35 mph, even in a 45 mph. I even had one [girl] tell me I didn't know how to lead people - truth is she didn't know how to follow people.
