Uh, no, they don't.

I've driven that road plenty of times, at many different times of the
day, before and after the limit increase. I tend to drive around 70mph
when I can (and not any faster just cuz of a 65mph limit).  Before
they raised the limit, I kept up with or passed most of the traffic.
Now that they've raised the limit... why... I keep up with or pass
most of the traffic! There are fewer people putt-putting along in
the middle lanes now, though, but not many.

Are you really just totally deluded, or are you simply making stuff
up?
