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.
