I'm not saying I miss the 55 speed limit, but i did notice that when "speeding" was going around 65-70, it was a lot easier to snake through traffic. Now, with the addition of all these huge SUVs and everyone trying to go 75-80 just about all you can do safely is get in a lane and follow the guy in front of you.
I also think they should make anything that gets less than 15 MPG observe the truck speed limits (55 in lots of places)... or pay some sort of gross polluter tax.
Your "snaking" through traffic was more dangerous.
In fact, you made the guy's point.
hey, that was a few years ago before i got old and all... i readily admit that there is a valid reason why teen/early 20's guys have higher insurance rates.
when the speed limit was 55 and people in the fast lane were driving 55 (and no one was in front of them and they weren't moving over), there wasn't much choice but to try to get around them... it made driving a whole lot more fun than it is today.
