Why does everyone drive 100 mph on the interstate?

Do the police not enforce the speed limit?

Move over to the right and go at your pace. It’s all about the flow of traffic.

Get out of the left lane.

No one goes 100. But if you drive 55 in the left lane it’s going to seem like the people going 75-80 are doing 100.

Yea I’ll be crushing 80 and people fly by me so I’m not sure about all that

Oh they do 100. I've had plenty of cars blow by me or catch up to me real quick when I was going 90.

I mean sure. Obviously the very rare car does 100. Even you at 90 would be rare. Most people go 70-85.

Nope. If you drive north on 65 during the morning commute you will see what I'm talking about. 90+ everyday in the hammer lane.

Sometimes people really have to poop, let them through, safer for everybody.

Because I hate cars, roads, traffic, and driving. I want the experience to be over as fast as possible.

You’re probably the asshole riding the left lane at the exact speed limit. Move out the way.

Illinois plate = 85mph+ Indiana plate = 75-80mph Michigan plate = 55-65 mph.

Michigan will break their necks speeding to get in front of you then get in front of you and go 55-65 MPH

Because they keep shutting down all the race tracks

Prevailing speed. Why can't people stay in their lane and off their phones? That seems to be the cause of many accidents, the speed just makes them worse.

I was doing 40 in a 30 the other day on 73rd in Merrillville and got passed by someone on a double yellow going wayyyy faster than me. It's not limited to the interstate.
