That's spot-on. If the speed limit is 55, I do 55. If the speed limit
is 65, I usually run at 58-62, depending upon conditions. If the speed
limit is 70, I still run at 58-62. Easier on my vehicle, trailer,
tires, brakes, me, and if I have to stop or swerve, I'm more likely to
be able to handle that at a lower speed.


Old people usually do drive slow and bitch about those young
"whippersnappers" that drive too fast (the speed limit) and actually
change lanes once in a while.


Why do i have an imagine in my mind of some short, fat, bald headed guy,
slumped in the seat so he can barely see over the steering wheel,
yelling at all those people passing him.
