Why Do You Exceed The Speed Limit?

It's always a hair raiser when I'm running the 75 speed limit in my Silverado and end up having some super-trucker bearing down on at me warp speed. At that point, I try to increase speed and put some distance between me and work-a-holic. Then of course there was this other time last year where I was riding a Suzuki DR650 back from Ft Sumner on the 65 mph, US84 and had a Wally World bearing down on me.
Slowed it down in Melrose and the guy just blew right through town!!

 

My trainer frowns upon me going the speed limit. You got to go 3-4 over.

I slow down behind a slower truck to allow cars and other trucks to pass before I jump out knowing I'm governed at 66 and it will take me longer to pass. He asks Why are we doing 60 in a 65? You have to work on your time management.

When I get in small towns I ride up to 5 under speed limit just to be safe. Why are we going so slow?

If a car or truck comes over in front of me I back off slightly to build following distance. Why are you backing off? We should be hammer down!

It is really frustrating me but I will endure it until I get my own truck then I can run how I want to run and not be the douche holding up left lane doing 66 passing a 65 for 5 miles. Also, just ride with the traffic in the work zone, no one does the limit is my favorite.

 

He's an idiot.
