I do travel a lot on U.S Highways and state highways. The speed limits on these roads is often 60, 65, 70 MPH and with only limited opportunities to pass and often limited opportunities to pull over to let traffic pass there have been numerous occassions when over anxious/aggressive drivers have passed under less than ideal/safe conditions. No matter what highways you take, you need to be aware of the other traffic and the conditions around you all of the time.
My biggest concern with taking the Interstates is being blown all over. I drive about 50-60 and don't want to go faster than that. I suppose I'll just have to bear it because my route is already planned out and way faster than the highways.
I just don't think it's safe going 10-20 miles under the speed limit either, but I'm still new at this and am not going to do 65 while towing.
