frog leaping. what is it and do you do it?

Or.... they are just driving normal and the hills just happen to slow them down.

Never really understood this concept of "making up for lost time" except when you run into a friend you haven't seen in years.

 

Whoever told you that you can go over the speed limit to pass is full of crap. They are either f'n with you, or setting you up to get a very bad driving record.

 

Let's adjust him to 85% wrong, and call him "grain of salt guy"

 

That may be, but he is 100% wrong. There is no such law anywhere in North America that allows you to speed to pass. Same thing with speeding on the downhill. Does he and large numbers of others get away with it most of the time? Sure, but they're still in the wrong and candidates for a ticket... especially when they get pulled over by a LEO who found out that morning their spouse has been cheating on them with a trucker. or the county is a little shy on revenue and they need to make up the shortfall.

 

In Wyoming we actually have a law that allows 10 mph over in order to pass a vehicle traveling slower than the speed limit. It does not apply to passing a vehicle running the speed limit nor does it allow commercial trucks to use it.

 

So is that up to 10 over the posted limit in order to pass? If so, I stand corrected... partly. In practise, yes, it's often "necessary" to speed in order to effect a pass safely. I do it, I just try and make sure there's no LEOs about when I do.
