I drive with traffic, sometimes 90, sometimes 30, sometimes 70… And no, with 40mpg I spend 200 a month in gas. I can assure you driving 97 North/south, driving the posted speed limit will get you killed.
I’m not sure why I’m even arguing with you about this, you’re West Coast, correct?
The east and west coast have the same popular myth. And it’s bullshit. The stats don’t lie. Fatality increases with accident speed. If you want to survive an accident then stay 70 or below.
Neat. Maryland has traffic codes for hindering traffic. If you are impeding traffic you will get a ticket.
Regardless of physics. You going into this so deeply tells me that you’re either Californian or Washington state. I’d go with Californian on the premise you haven’t let this go yet.
Also I haven’t downvoted you a single time. That’s not me doing that.
I grew up in Maryland actually. And you have to go very slow, like 40 on the controlled access roads, before they issue that ticket. Going the speed limit or near it isn’t a crime, no matter how much you want it to be. And every cop I’ve talked to wants us all to slow down, especially when the 95 gets fogged out. The Southwest has the same problem with people yeeting themselves into sandstorms and getting into accidents on mountain highways where they roll right off the mountain.
Thinking about it I’m pretty sure any cop that tried to bring a ticket for doing 60 in a 65 would get laughed out of the courtroom.
