Why is it that if "speed differential is the problem" ... the conversation ALWAYS winds up going somewhere like "the at or under the speed limit drivers should for safety speed up to match those going over the speed limit?

How about the other way around .... the gas pedal can be lifted as well as depressed.

Where do the Over-The-Limiters think speed limits come from? I guess they think that highway engineers know nothing and are wasting tax payers' dollars ... might as well fire them all. Yeah .... let's move onward and upward to vehicle speed anarchy where drivers can do as they please speed-wise all the time, everywhere.

Turn the nervous system jitters down a notch, relax, listen to some music, and start respecting a bit more what highway engineers do.

The best thing to do is set the speed limit appropriately. When you post an artificially low speed limit a small percentage will try to follow it. Others will become frustrated and try to make up by aggressive driving.

If you set it correctly, the differential in speeds tends to be lowest.
