Just curious; are those of you espousing speed limit "plus" using longer following distances than the recommended two car lengths?
While it is a good excuse to be in a hurry to get to the booze, or not to be "the obstruction" on the road to the cocktail hour - could it also be argued that if you prefer to not "overdrive" your ability to stop, reflexes, or comfort zone, you are not being an obstruction as much as a more careful (responsible) driver?
Like I said, I'm just curious. I am aware of my limitations and observe a speed limit that keeps others around me safe too. Besides, where I live the speed limit is usually 75, so "plus 5" would put me over the governor limit on an F53 chassis.
