New to towing. Speed? Weight?

I tow at 60 mph, better safe than sorry.

Just how safe is it when you have cars and trucks going 20+ mph faster having to fight over lanes to get around you? Take the back roads!

I don't understand what the problem is? If you are wanting to take your time then why not take the scenic route. When people get caught behind you running slow and people are flying by and these people can't get out in the lane then you are being just as disrespectful as the guy that's going to get in front of you and start slowing down making you to try and go around and then speeds back up driving side by side. I just don't understand why you want to run highway speeds on the interstate. Take the highway or run with the flow of traffic instead of being a traffic jam.

As I recall, in Kentucky the maximum interstate speed limit is 70 mph and that is only in rural areas. So if GeoBoy is driving 60 mph that would mean according to your own post you are driving 80+ mph. Clearly a violation that could get you a ticket. Since interstates have multiple lanes it should not be much of a problem to simply go around them, unless traffic in the other lanes is bumper to bumper. If that is the case then driving at 80+ mph would be terribly reckless.
