Around here, they get "outraged" when I do only, keeping with your example, 45 miles per hour in a 40 zone. And "outraged" is an understatement.
I get drivers using the center left-only turning lane as a passing lane, and when they are, blasting their horn at me all the way. Of course, once they get in front of me, they stop dead (the red light which I was regenning toward).
I will admit I did get a LOT of pleasure the other day when the dude who used the center left-only lane to pass me, only ended up having a cop with lights flashing on his tail within seconds.
In the residential and industrial parks areas around here, there are many roads with 15, 20, or 25 miles per hour limits. And yes, I stick to those limits and take advantage of running in EV mode only. And as I mentioned, I actually do 20 in the 15 zone, and even that "outrages" people to no end, who end up being 20 seconds later to work.
