Watch your speed in NC
Just a heads up to those of you traveling to or through North Carolina. They appear to be cracking down on any speeding, even a mile or two. At least for a while.

If people would just realize what speeding does. It reduces your MPG, makes accidents more severe, makes everyone pay higher insurance rates, makes towing a trailer and changing lanes harder than it needs to be. Most people get into the habit of driving 10 miles per hour over the speed limit and cannot stand to run the true speed limit!! Don't you hate tailgaters trying to push you along faster? I welcome any state cracking down on speeding. It makes Rving so much safer and fun.

For you people who "And I don't care how many other vehicles are behind me. Never have worried about them!"
Since you don't care about the vehicles behind you (obviously you care only for your self), would you please have just a little consideration for those who need/want to get around you and keep in the right lane? Just because you have all the time in the world, there are truckers and others who still have a job and schedules to meet. Keep out of the left lane!

I've been driving for a lot of years. Never saw a speed limit sign that said "approximate speed limit plus a few". Seems like the number on the signs means what it says.
Pretty common for most northeast states to give 10 mph leeway, mostly because if they pulled over everyone exceeding the speed limit, they'd be too busy to do anything else.
