Drove home going 85 and still being passed yesterday. I live in Texas.
If you’re not going as fast as they are, you’re a potential danger now.

Usernameblankface@lemmy.world 9 months agoThe posted speed limit plus 5mph is considered normal where I’m from in America. 10 over is asking for a ticket.
I visited Texas once, and was amazed to see most everyone driving 20-30mph over the posted limit, even past the speed traps with no consequences.

This is particularly stupid considering that your average shitty brodozer is pretty much incapable of emergency braking from 85mph.

I’m in Southeast Pennsylvania and they’ll whack you for 10 over, but 20-30 over is not rare here. People just don’t care about anyone but themselves on the road.
I take all back roads to work now and it’s much better even though the drive is twice as long.
