Actually, in California, that's 10 mph below the posted limit which is
considered "too slow."  I don't know about Maryland.

In Nevada, it's 10 mph below the limit too - and cops will definitely pull you
over if you do that because you either are hiding something or are simply stupid
since the average is around 85 and doing 65 is very unsafe.  (It's posted at 75)
