Well I'll have to take both sides of the story...I used to like doin 80 in 70 on long trips but now usually just do 70 for gas mileage and legality and all that. I use my cruise control and don't like being forced to change speed cus its wasting gas. I can't stand it when people do 70 or under in left lane pacing someone and are holding up like 10 cars...thats rude...but when I go to pass a slower vehicle at 70 or 73 or even 75 and some jerk TAILGATES me like within 1 foot while I am in process of passing and starts flashing his BRIGHTS like he has some right to break the speed limit and how dare you do the speed limit in front of me...I can give three flying excretions from a cow's behind what he wants and he can just wait since he is the one breaking the law and gettin on my nerves. When they say follow flow of traffic that means if traffic is going slow its for a reason and if u speed you are much more likely to have an accident. However when you are on busy
in-town highways like I4 in Orlando or I95 in south florida you gotta flow with traffic so you don't cause a ruckus. When you are on rural highways everything changes.
I had someone get pissy with me other day when I was doing a few over the limit in left lane and I had 4 people in the car and could not see very well out back or side so it was just easier and safer to stay in that lane till traffic lightened up a bit...so someone in a Cherokee thinks lemme tailgate this guy and then pulls in front of me and slows down number...lucky I'm nice person with parents and family in car. Road rage ain't no joke
