Incorrect.
Pointing out that you were wrong and providing evidence that you were wrong is not being an internet tough guy. It's called educating stupid people about how the world actually works. You should try reading those links before opening your mouth again. |

The research basically said "hey, there's going to be people speeding so get out of their way." What it should have said is: people like KC native that drive like ****ing teenagers are going to ride your bumper and get pissed if you drive the posted speed limit. They will probably do reckless things to get by you even though you are obeying the law and if an accident happens they will blame you for interrupting their busy lives.

You are the one who can not try and have a conversation without calling someone a pussy, one who sucks the penis or that they are stupid.
You are the one who does not even know what they are arguing about. No one is saying that it is OK to drive slowly and back up traffic. You are trying to argue that you should be able to speed in the passing lane. |

If our posted speed limits made sense, then I would say it isn't appropriate to speed in the passing lanes. Our posted speed limits are arbitrary and outdated.

Tractor trailers alone make the vast majority of interstate speed limits perfectly permissible. Unless your grandma is in a diabetic coma, I think you can live going 70 MPH.

You think that I can live going 70? How about we look at what the road and cars can safely handle? |

More to your point though, I read once that any given road is rated for what a car can handle, and speed limits woefully fall short of those limits.... so yeah, that sucks.

Call it what you want, but they sure as hell don't make sense... 75mph is parts of Nebraska, Iowa was like 60 at one time not that long ago and now it's finally 70, trucks can only go 55 in Illinois and 65 for cars (iirc) which makes it a huge pain in the ass for everyone, Detroit has posted speed limits of 70mph in the city, which is unheard of around here...... sure seems arbitrary.
