Only if you want to die!
The standard highway speed is 15mph over the speed limit here in CA.
If you follow the speed limit, you’ll be going too slow to effectively maneuver or see incoming cars and increase chances of a crash.
Ergo: break the law or die.

- akiselev 4y ago> The standard highway speed is 15mph over the speed limit here in CA. Depends entirely where in California. LA is a good 15-20 mph over, San Diego is more like 10-15 mph over, and the South Bay Area is more like 0-5 mph over (which drove me crazy coming from LA)
- surfpel 4y agoAgreed more or less (lived in all 3), although South Bay can be a tossup. I've felt slow doing 80 and fast doing 70.
- teaearlgraycold 4y agoGoogle Maps claims that much of the bay’s 101 is 55 mph. I don’t know if I believe that, but if true then it’s standard to do 20 above here.
- carom 4y agoThe pandemic was amazing for traffic. Flying up the 101 to SF at 95mph. (Source: from LA)
- hunter2_ 4y agoThat's why the Cannonball Run article has a chapter [0] dedicated to the pandemic. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cannonball_Run_challenge#During_the_COVID-19_Pandemic https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cannonball_Run_challenge#Durin...
