Not too much slower though. In my state ten over and ten under is covered by the same rule. Its reckless driving.
I think you might be surprised by how many drivers could reduce their average speed by 20 mph without running afoul of minimum speed limits.
People driving 5km/h below the limit in peak hour lad other drivers to drive badly. 30km/h below would induce road rage
Why would you say that? I drive forty five minutes to work and back every day. The majority of my route is two lane highway. I'm usually plus or minus five around the speed limit the whole way. I see the same thing everyday. I see regulators who like slowing down when oncoming traffic prevents passing and speeding up to ten over when you can. I also see the mad dashers who wont leave on time passing dangerously in packs as they race to work. For the past year I try to leave fifteen minutes earlier than I used to. This time difference allows me to skip most of the dashers. If I leave any earlier I just get another shifts dashers. Nothing can be done about the regulators. They do it for some pathetic power trip. They are going to do it no matter where and no matter when they leave for work.
There is nothing surprising to me about your statement.
