As one of the few that drive the speed limit, I approve. I always wonder what the hell is their hurry? Soccer practice excuse is getting old.

If you talk to traffic safety experts, almost all, including those employed by police departments will readily admit that speed limits are too low.

25 is good for residential

65-70 is way too slow for most interstates. The correct speed is referred to as the 85th percentile. Essentially the speed that 85% of drivers are going.

In my last ticket, I was driving through the flats in Montana, high visibility at 180 degrees. The posted speed was 80 mph. I apparently slid above that a bit and got tagged doing 93. Dusk was just starting so I was getting ready to slow down in a few minutes anyhow.

Never speed in residential or where kids are, but otherwise I drive by the Prima Facie speed law. If the road is wide open, clear and in good repair, the vehicle also, why not enjoy the road?

And I find incontinence a much better excuse!
