behind me because in the 'slow' lane at 10 mph over the speed limit I was going to slow.

In WI going to the 70 mph speed limit has not made the freeways safer. They've made them more like a hybrid between NASCAR sprint racing and demolition derby

Apparently this has just facilitated people procrastinating until the absolute last moment to leave for work or appointments based on distance divided by speed limit plus 5-10.

I really hate people who drive like that! CaliforniaPeggy Oct 2015 #1
