    The speed limit is artificially low. That's why. The default speed limit could easily be 80 and still be safe.

    Because when I'm flying at 60 mph in a 55 mph zone, I'm feeling like the badass I am.

    Because 70mph is much more efficient for my car than 30/40/50

    This.

    The 1960s called, and want 55 back. We no longer live in an era of lap belts, horribly made suspension, or brake and tire manufacturers with quality control that would make a trailer park meth cook blanche.

    My husband is a police officer, and took me for a "ride" one day. You know in the movies where the passenger tries to hold onto the roof? Yeah that was me. I love going fast, but that was terrifying. My husband laughed, I cried, so it was a good day.

    55 is fine on highways for me. I prefer 70 on remote stretches of multi lane interstates.

    My car is so smooth and quiet that 80-85 feels more like 45.

    I recently got a ticket so now I only do 5-9 miles over the speed limit. I never speed in school zones. That's asking to get a reckless driving ticket.

    Thank goodness for cruise control. My foot is made of lead and most of the time I don't even realize I'm speeding!

    I like to be safe than sorry. So I speed over the limit. Not because I'm trying to take my mother in law to the hospital

    Because I like to go fast and I can.
    In this state you better go or get out of the way.

    What state do you live in? In Indiana, you get out of the way only on the left lane. If you like to go fast you go around the ones that are doing the speed limit. You sound like a pretty badass :D

    typical conversation while returning a rental car:



    was everything okay with the car, sir ?

    no, not really.

    oh, what's the problem?

    the speedometer, it goes up to 140 mph

    yes?

    well, I could only get this Camry up to 135; something ain't right

    Because I'm the fastest cyclist you know. Hairpin turns are a lot of fun on two wheels.
