Example: Traffic Speed. Everyone always exceed the speed limit on highways. Why do we still have the limit? Like, either enforce it, or remove it. This stuff doesn’t make sense at all.

      I’ll never forget my first time driving in Southern California.

      I was doing 85mph in a 70mph zone and a prius flew past me.

      Where I live, if you’re driving the speed limit on the highway, you’d best be in the slow lane…and you’d still have people passing you.

        You should be in the slow lane I’d you aren’t overtaking anyway right? I presume most places have fairly similar rules but here in Australia it’s keep left unless overtaking, always. I guess keep right unless overtaking for US.

          Yeah, but we’ve got like 4 lanes in a single direction sometimes, so there’s not just a slow lane and a passing lane.

            Guess what, all three extra lanes are still passing lanes. This misunderstanding is the biggest cause of traffic.

              Call them what you want, it means that the majority of the people on the highway are “speeding” at any given time
