One of the idiots here
claimed he towed at 70 mph+.
That is almost expected on I-40 west of Wilmington, NC.... otherwise
you'll get run over.
Same in SWFL. Harry could tow at 70+ also if he had his trailer set
up properly and extracted his head from the nether regions of his
copious body.

Don't know why anybody thinks they'll get "run over" doing the speed
limit.
I go slower than most traffic all the time. Never got "run over."
Don't even hardly ever get tail-gated.
But I see a lot of tail-gating happening in the string of cars passing
the truck I'm usually behind.
That's a little trick to keep the lemmings away. They see the truck
and change lanes before they even get close to me.
Plenty of steady going semi-trucks doing the limit, mile after mile.
Is that "run over" thinking similar to what has folks racing up to red
lights?

I don't get run over but anytime I take out the trailer I can count on
getting passed by some crazy son of a bitch that thinks he is Mario
Andretti cutting me off just so he can feel his power steering...
