    I comprehend the minimum law just fine, but that doesn't make a vehicle doing 63 mph in a 75 mph zone safe. You're awful defensive of the 63 mph drag racers, you're on of them aren't you?

    usually it's a 50-75 mph speed area, so actually 63 would be the average speed... if you want to max out the speed limit you ok to do so, provided it is safe to go the max.

    I understand that, alls I was saying is that to me a vehicle traveling that much slower than everyone else is dangerous, especially when said slow vehicle whips out in front of much faster moving traffic, regardless of the law how often do you see 4 wheelers doing below the limit?

    I run into quite a few cars going below the limit. I don't like people like you because no matter what happens you are never happy. Im sure you are the kind of person that switches lanes just to get a couple cars ahead when a lane is closed or a slowdown is ahead. Im sure you were like the many behind me last night that were to impatient behind me while I was going the speed limit in the hammer lane in TN.

    The only thing dangerous about a slowER vehicle then you is people like you. You need to be aware of your surroundings, put that phone down, and don't worry to much about time. Remember you'll get there eventually, whether on your own accord or in a body bag.

    Sent from somewhere out on the road.
