to get pulled over on the interstate?
I just gotta know. Because I thought I was pushing the speed limit by going 74 on the 65 interstate.
I've heard before that around 10mph over the limit is reasonably safe. I've passed by cops and not gotten pulled over going 9mph over. But I know many people who've gotten pulled over doing over 15mph over.
But it felt like I was going backwards in traffic. The average speed of the other drivers on the interstate was probably around 80-90. And there were plenty of cops lying in wait all along the interstate. But the fact that I saw the cops still sitting their holding their guns when 10 cars had just passed me going 20mph over the speed limit means that they didn't pull any of those guys over.
And I know the speeders couldn't have just slowed down when they saw the cop, because by the time you see the cop, they've already radared you. And supposedly the frequencies picked up by radar detectors change quite often, so those aren't too useful.
I'd heard that 20mph over is enough to get your license suspended. So why is everybody going 20-25mph over the limit on the interstates? Does just nobody care about getting pulled over? Or do the cops only look for people doing 30+? And this is just some big secret I just haven't been informed about yet.
It's so hard to drive, becuase the slowpokes in the right lane are going 55, and the speeders in the left going 90, and as apparently the only person on the road who doesn't want a speeding ticket, I'm just going 70ish, and everytime I pass a slowpoke, in the 5 seconds it takes to pass, some @$$hole flies up and rides angrilly 1inch from your @$$ until you finish passing because he can't stand losing 5 whole darn seconds from his trip. Because risking his life and the lives of his passengers and me by raging tailgating is so worth it to arrive at his destination 5 seconds sooner.
And then you get the guys who aren't using their cruise control, and it's impossible to drive following these guys because one minute they're down to 60, the next up to 70, etc.
And surprisingly, using cruise control (which improves gas mileage), and even with 3 people and loaded to top to bottom with heavy merchandise, I was still able to get about 28mpg in the forester. Went all the way from minneapolis to milwaukee on one tank.
And those milwaukee drivers are bad like chicago drivers, only less preppy and more angry instead. They're all 25mph over the limit and angrilly riding your ass even if you're in the right lane and they can pass you anytime they want.
I mean, some minnesota drivers are bad, and we get a lot of old people driving slow in the left lane, but we're angels compared to chicago and milwaukee.
