Sticking to the speed-limit,

I did a search but really couldn't find anything specific. It's probably here so feel free to point out the thread to me.

If not though, one thing I notice while traveling back and forth across the US in my car is that trucks are going the same speed-limit as the car limit. I have never cared but I wondered how they got away with it, or maybe they don't always. I'm not sure I agree with the difference in the speed-limit laws but for me, I am wondering when I am out there, I will want to follow the signs. I've always been that way even though I have crept up over the speed-limit many times in my life. Just didn't get caught.

I do wonder if I won't get griped at if I stick to those speed-limits? Know what I'm sayin? I mean, if all the other trucks are going 65 and I am at 55. Should do a poll on this one to see how many do their best to stick to the speed-limit and how many don't

 

You're a hoot! Yep, I have 2 and they both look like that

Again, I know you are right about the speed limit. I knew the answer in my gut but yet when you see so many truckers doing that I just wondered if there was a new law I didn't know about. Thank you much

 

That is really good news! It doesn't make good sense to have two different the way I see it.

 

will do JT

 

I hear you on the economy and also, the cops are thicker than I ever remember, even way out here where I live. When I first moved here they said the cops wouldn't even come out here unless someone died. Now, I've seen 3 in as many days.

Yep, I've always used the "5 mph over" as well. Suppose they could nail you if they want because I don't know of any law that says it is ok but just always heard of so I do it sometimes. Mostly I just want to keep my license always so I just go by the signs. Again I'm not perfect, by a lonngggggggggggg shot but just not young and as fearless(or was that stupid? )
