      I’ve had a much easier life following a super easy rule for highways:

      Left lane: Passing/Fast

      Middle lane: Cruising

      Right lane: Exit/Slow

      If I’m in the left lane doing 110 MPH and there’s a pickup truck right on my ass, I’ll signal and go middle lane and just cruise for a bit.

      9 times out of 10, I’ll see that exact same pickup or other car on the right shoulder with a state trooper writing him up.

      It’s happened so often in my life, it’s made me believe in “instant karma”. Just let them pass.

        What highways are there with a 100mph+ speed limit? I’d love to visit.
        I thought the highest in the US was 80mph, which means at least 30mph over. I thought you could start getting your vehicle impounded and get reckless driving charges at that point. It’s a little more than common speeding

          I have seen an 85 mph speed limit on a 2-lane highway in Oklahoma. It was cool because I was in a fast car and I could go as fast as I wanted to (about 90).
