Slower?...........NO
Less Agressive?.........YES

Why?..........because it's the responsible thing to do. ANY passenger in your car when you are behind the wheel is your responsibility. Whether they like it or not, their life is in your hands.

Getting into an accident when your by yourself is bad enough. With a passenger is even worse.

Funny..I was just having this conversation earlier today with Mrs. Blue S2. I definitely drive less aggressively with her in the car.

I agree with everyone, a passengers life is my responsibility, and i take that seriously. I tone it down when i drive with someone in my car.

Simple answer............YES! Lol, im not that aggressive of a driver to begin with, but when I have a passenger I take it even easier. If im by myself from time to time i will drive like 5 over the speed limit if there is no traffic, but if I have a passenger I usually keep it at the speed limit. Really the only exception to me not going pretty easy on public roads is when i get back on a winding back road.

It's hard to drive aggressively while I'm getting road head. So the answer will be yes, I do drive more slowly when I have a passenger.

Because that happens every time you drive the car
