Vast majority? What fantasy world is that in?
Drive 70 on the FL Tpke or on US75 and it's like you're walking. I've on occasion driven 75/80 in the right lane on the FL tpke because I'm moving with traffic and people are passing in the other lanes and are out of site in seconds. Trucks as well. Many cars must be going close to 100 and trucks easily near 80. You're from NYC. How many people drive 70 on the 65mph Rt 95 (aka NJ Tpke)? Probably more than on the FL TPKE but not a lot. I'm sure there are those who do lock in at +5MPH but not a whole lot. Speed limits on FL Tpke or US75 are rarely enforced it seems. NOT SAYING IT'S RIGHT, just that it happens quite often.
