ill tell you SD is High

VA is only middle beacuse of the non NOVA parts, if it was just NOVA I think we might be low

[loka]

Ironic how the states with the slowest speeds are the ones with higher accident rates. Also ironic states with middle speeds drive like retards. Wisconsin drivers are morons. How is Massachusetts slowest? The three of four major interstate highways in Massachusetts are 65mph.

[uuntiltheendd]

wasnt surprised that my state is one of the fastest. everyone here drives like retards on the highway.

[tj26]

well just highways in SD are 55-65 around where i live and the intestates are 65-75

It is only for users of their service and is thus not an accurate indication of anything. For example the same person could drive in all of those states but that has nothing to do with how people who live there drive. Also I can say from expired that there is no way that ga and ky drive a the same speed on average. It is literally night and day. If you drove in ga like people do in ky you would get run off the road and I can back that up with claims from people in ky saying how ever time they are in ga everyone cuts them off. I then ask how fast they are going and they say 55 on ga400 where everyone drives 70+ also ohio is the mother of all slow driving so how it got to that speed when even its fastest roads are 55 and I NEVER in 20 years have seen someone in that state drive over 55. They all just fucking block every lane at the same speed. GA on the other hand is considering a law that says that you must go faster than the other lanes if your on the left and the left will have a minimum speed of the speed limit.

my gf got pulled over for going too slow once.

it was raining, and she was like, 5 mph below the posted 45 (due to the rain). a cop pulled her over because she was in the "fast lane" and going slowly. that's when she bit the cop's ears off and informed him in not too kind words that the posted speed limits are the legal ones in good conditions, and that the rain hardly made for good conditions. furthermore, she could not be ticketed for going to slow (literally, too cautiously) and pulled out a pen and paper and asked for the officer's badge number, name, police department (like towamencin township, montgomery county...) and his direct superior. the cop left her alone.

68 - 70 is fast? almost everyone in MA drives atleast 75 -80 on 490

[mag36]

I know Atlanta if you take the 285 bypasses if you not going the least 80 everyone will be passing you. Its either 5 mile hour traffic or 80+ traffic.

People who drive slow on the fast lane are idiots. Common sense, if you drive slow get outta the fucken fast lane.

I'm surprised New York is middle range unless their average speed is accumulated out of NYC because it's so damn congested from morning to sometimes 8pm to drive on 95 or 84.

That's not even counting the FDR drive and West Side Highway/ Henry Hudson Parkway.

I personally drive an average 75-80 mph highway. HOV lane if possible..LOL:icon_mrgreen:

I speak for all canadians when i say... ummm.. WHAT?!?!?! I know the yellow head had a speed limit of 100 KMH uniform for the entire country unless they raised it to 110 KMH like the feds said they were thinking of doing... I would never drive in the US to fast for me Ill stick with nice KMH and stay away from MPH :D

ummm, that'd probably be about what we'd get near me. 20 over's a bit much

:wtg:

Fuck people who block the fast lane. I wish I still had train horns on my car. :lmao:

[loka]

Fast lane is a passing lane. Even in poor weather. It's used to pass all the slow moving vehicles from the other 2-4 right lanes. I hate people who use it as a traffic lane. Anyways, my average highway speed is 85 and most people in Massachusetts do about 60-80mph.

[uuntiltheendd]

ummm, twenty over isnt that much near me. thats why im pissed about it.

@masta: train horns, nice! im thinking about getting some hella supertones for my car.

I dont care where you live 20 over is way to fucking much.

[loka]

20 over a speed limit would indicate why you got a ticket no matter what, even if it's typical speed other cars are going. I also love how if your going to go over the limit, make sure your car isn't a target for police cars. Otherwise, drive like a grandma.

350 sounds about right anyways. For every 10mph that you went over it's an extra $100-125 and they charge you $100 for even writing the ticket. You're also lucky that they didn't tack you for reckless driving. Your license would have been suspended right then and there.
