In the U.S. if you drive at (maximum) speed limit you’re likely slowing down traffic. You’re supposed to drive 5 to 10 mph above the speed limit.

- tonyedgecombe 5y ago>You’re supposed to drive 5 to 10 mph above the speed limit. What? Where is the legislation that says that?

- tonyedgecombe 5y agoMy experience is if people are all driving at the same speed then they mentally switch off. When a hazard appears they aren't ready for it.
- mPReDiToR 5y agoMy car has a speed of 70mph on the SatNav when the speedo says 77. That could be by design, or the factory fitted alloys having a different circumference to the factory steel wheels. I peg my cruise control at 76.5 and overtake all day long because other road users are oblivious to their actual speed.
