Do you drive the speed limit? Stop before making a right had turn? Park within the lines in a parking lot?

Pretty much, probably a tad over the speed limit at times and I have been known to do a "South Carolina Rolling Stop" but I always park between the lines as parallel as possible.

Well, two out of three ain't too bad. 
In town and areas by homes and schools I drive the speed limit. Out on the highway I drive to stay with the traffic. I use I95 often as it is right around the corner from me. The other day I was headed south and traveling about 78 mph. I had to go about 10 miles to get off it. I never passed anyone (speed limit is 65 mph).
I drive the speed limit except on the interstate, may be 5 to 7 mph over depending on traffic. I have a Ram 1500 Bighorn so I often had to make "adjustments" to stay within the parking spaces lines.

No (around here that's a good way to get run over)
Yes
Yes
I also don't park in no parking zones
I don't park on the curb and go into Sam's
I don't park in curbside pickup spaces unless I'm there to pick it up
I don't park in pregnant lady spaces or military spaces
When I see a sign that said lane ends in 1/2 mile I don't haul ass to the front and try to squeeze in in front of everybody else
I do let people in that are trying to merge on the interstate most of the time
I'm also nice to dogs and old people.
And pretty much none of that gets me crap.

One our rural two land highway I drive at 65 rather than the posted 60. I am passed often. The road is straight for many miles. We often have elk, deer, wild horses, stray cattle on the road. Much of the highway is through open range country. So it is wise ot keep the speed down. At night I am at 50.
Yes yes and yes

Gee,, I wish all of y'all who travel the speed limit or exceed it would visit here.
We suffer from people who obviously can't drive in a curve,, uphill, downhill, or want to "look & point" at everything. They drive a lot less than the speed limit. When there is only ONE road to travel,, and you have a line of 5,10,15 vehicles behind you,, it's obvious who the problem is.
That is,, until they get to any 4-lane road,,,,,,,,!

If I drove the speed limit the cops around here and everyone else would be either passing me like crazy or tailgating mad as anything.
In Dallas, it just isn't safe to drive the speed limit. EXCEPT in school zones. People follow that very strictly. 20 MPH.
When I park I park as far as possible from the store, so I don't always park in the lines. But usually. And there are very few parallel parking spots in Dallas.

I haven't had a driving citation in over 35 or so years. When people look astonished and ask how I managed that, I just tell them, "It's easy, just obey the laws".

Aaaaaah so you're one of those people that takes up two spaces. I hope at least you're doing it in the back of the parking lot.

2 for 3 is 66%, and a passing grade. Works for me. I was never accused of being an over-achiever.
I obey all the traffic rules and try to teach my children the same. Even that one about speed limit that gives senior citizens and Ruger forum supporting members, a 4 mph allowance over the posted.

>Speed limit plus 10 mph on town roads,including school zones. Driving 5 mph over get many people very angry.
>Many role thru Right Turn on Red and No Turn on Red, including leos.
>Only a few jerks do not park between lines. Hopefully they get keyed unless they are parked away from everyone.
The above occurs regardless of age or gender.
