And yes, if an 80mph person gets behind me when I’m doing 70mph, I move right over and let him pass. It’s not my job to enforce the speeding laws.


This is me too. And often I then follow them a couple hundred yards back and use them as a radar screen. :-)

Side story: Here in KY, the way people tend to drive badly is that they don’t use turn signals. When I lived in Seattle (drove there for 37 years) the MO was to camp out in the passing lane at the speed limit or lower. The proof is in an experience I had in central Montana.

We were coming back from a wedding on I-90 a few dozen miles west of billings and we, and a couple of other cars, were averaging around 95. We’d come upon cars doing 70 in the passing lane and most of them would pull over for us, but five didn’t and we all eventually passed them on the right.

Of those five cars, four had Washington state plates. It was high comedy. :-D

Wow. 95. That’s pretty fast. I’ve driven that fast in Nevada just to feel what it’s like but I’d be nervous doing it for long stretches.

More power to you!
