That’s gonna get people killed around Atlanta, where the posted speed limit may be 55 or 65 but flow of traffic is 80+.

Some years ago, my daughter had a couple of friends fly in from Japan to do a college shopping visit to John Hopkins University. I got up early and we headed down US 40 to pick up the Interstate to Baltimore.

Just as I crossed the Maryland line on that lonely road, a state trooper stopped me for going 70. I was lucky to get off with a warning, probably because I had three beautiful girls in the car. When I hit the interstate, of course, I was back to 70 and maintaining near that speed until the John Hopkins exit into Baltimore. People were passing me and giving me the finger.

Another Maryland state trooper warned me that I needed to go with the flow of traffic regardless of the posted 60 mph speed limit. My daughter still laughs about the day that her Dad collected two warnings on opposite sides of Maryland.
