Question need your input

your driving up your country road

the speed limit according to the town cop i asked

months earlier is 40 mph anywhere it's unmarked he said.

i have the cruise control on set to like 34 mph

i see some people walking towards me on the side of the road
with strollers and maybe one kiddo in hand....

So.... i totally change lanes moving over to the left lane which is
for oncoming traffic but there isn't anyone coming.....ok being only several blocks from home....

so as to give them an extra wide berth and plenty of room

now the girl gets wicked pissed off ! telling me to slow the f down.
gesturing,,,not flipping me off though

so i turn around to see why she is so dammed angry
because i'm in no mood to take any CRAP from ANYONE today!

~
and i said "mam the speed limit is 40mph on this road and i was doing
35" and she says you see there's children you should have slowed down...next time i'll get your plate and call the cops. she was very belligerent and a total BEOTCH i said go ahead and left.

was i wrong? or was she? i said go ahead. what's your opinion?

legally, it's probably not right to drive in the opposite lane
but many people walk either side by side or with their dogs.

now, if they have their backs to me i slow way down because they cannot see me coming and you never know when a little kid is gonna pull his hand away from mummy's hand and run into the road so i watch them little kids for that scenario.
