Prevailing speed/s on busy freeways in my area of So. CA:
NON-rush hour/s -
Towing "anything": approx 60-65 mph. (speed limit for towing is 55 mph)
Not towing: 70-85 mph (speed limit is 65 mph)
Rush hour/s - approx 0 mph to 10-15 mph (no choice) for everyone...:W
How fast do *I* drive?
NON-rush hours:
Towing about 60 mph. (Will result in semis "tailgating")
Not towing - slightly less than the fastest "point man", which means
don't drive "slowly" at 70 mph in the fast lane.
Rush hour/s: Always avoid 'em like the plague.
With RV - departure in the wee hours of the AM (like 2 or 3 AM)
