I would have said that too in a perfect world, but 
unfortuately, the people who are all speeding force people who 
WANT to travel at a legal speed, to break the law.  You want 
everyone to pass you, and THEY are the ones who will get 
singled out by the police.

Alex, I understand the safety argument you are making, and 
this is where you MUST balance safety with prudence.  I have 
been driving at a rate no faster than 62 on our California 
freeways (where the flow is at least 65-70) and have had NO 
problem with safety, or tickets!

On a 4 lane road, two in each direction, my advice stands.
