I've been exceeding the 55/65 by at least 10 MPHlimit ever since it was
established.. I also run 10-20 over the limit on back roads, curves, wherever
traffic and road conditions allow a comfortable limit that's higher than the
posted limit..
Strangely enough, I'm still alive, and the only times I've suffered bent
sheetmetal were in parking lots and bumper-to-bumper traffic.. Oh, I
also ended up in a ditch after missing a turnoff on a dark rainy night at
about 10 MPH UNDER the posted limit, "proving" that low speeds
cause accidents.
