Default Re: Driving well under the speed limit: good idea or bad?

There should be no questions on this one. As long as one is going over the posted minimum speed & doing their business in the right lane, then all is good.

Many states already have speed limits posted for semis that are 10 miles per hour under the speed limit for other vehicles, so there are already other vehicles going that speed.

Bottom line, I understand defensive driving & all, but I should never feel forced to go faster. That's simply perpetuating the awful habits that so many in this country have & why we're in a world of hurt when it comes to our dependance on foreign oil.
