>Salam Dahbour blurted: >> >> I recently did an 1800 mile drive from Denver to New York. It really hurt >> because the speed limit in Colorado is 75, and I was in a 24' Ryder truck >> with a car attached to the back and a governor that wouldn't let us get over >> around 65mph!!! So we were driving around 10mph under the speed limit >> through that state. The amazing part is that we were passing people!!! In >> the MD/DC/VA area, the general rule seems to be to drive around 10-20mph >> over the speed limit (I think 75 is a very reasonable speed). But in >> Colorado, people were routinely going 10-15mph UNDER the speed limit. Hmmm, the Colorado I drove in (Colorado Springs/Denver area) I went between 85 and 90 and barely creeped up on other cars. >> I have to say that EVERYONE in Colorado drove in the right >> lane and passed in the left. Almost nobody ever stayed in the left lane >> when they weren't passing. Apparently their DMVs are much better than ours! T
