I've never been on a mountain grade, not even the 55mph Monteagle grade, where "every one else" is doing 65-80mph. There are always OTR trucks, box trucks, other RV's and slower vehicles crawling up the grades. If you're doing 65-80mph in these conditions, you're the hazard.
You are completely missing the point that myself and the other posters can clearly see. That is, if the speed limit is 55mph, then the closer you can drive to 55 the safer. It doesn't matter a jot if some OTR trucks are going 30 creating a dangerous differential, whether you like it or not the fact of the matter is MOST traffic we share the road with is going at least 55 (non-towers often 65-80mph depending on the speed limit).
To hear you talk you'd think people are choosing to drive at 30mph on the interstate. Why do you think big rigs going 30mph uphill on the interstate have their HAZARD LIGHTS flashing? Because their speed is a hazard. Notice their speed returns to 55 and the lights go off once the climb finishes.
KSSS- well said.
I never mentioned 30mph or that people choose to drive that slow. You don't get out much do you?
That's the best you can do after my reasoned response? What a sad little man you are.
