After my last trip to California, I rather decided speed limits were a joke there so their wall to wall traffic at 65 doesn’t bother me.
I grew up in and learned how to drive in southern California.
My rule is to keep up with traffic regardless of the speed limit.
In 2020 I went through Sacramento and Stockton on I-5. I don’t think I was below 70 to 80 MPH much of the time.
Speed limit was 55. Even in construction zones.
MY rule is to drive at what I feel is safe for conditions,
typically I exceed, on open roads about 9 MPH or more over the limit.
School zones and places where there a lot of kids and pedestrians, I go 5 MPH under the limit.
Most speed limits are really recommendations for junkers with bad tires or to enhance local city coffers.
Where else can you get a Black Belt in driving?
