I live in Houston and 85 MPH is normal even on the regular freeways (if
they are not jammed up). *I'll be on beltway-8 often and just keep up
with traffic, glace down at the speedo and see I'm going 80+ quite
often. *Cops don't care if you're in a "pack" keeping up with the rest
of traffic. *They just single out the lone driver going over the posted
limit when no one else is around. *Hell, I've passed police cars that
were driving too slow (60 MPH) or so on the beltway.

If you've even taken a "Smith Driving Course", they will tell you that
police vehicles are a safety hazard because everyone slows down suddenly
when they encounter one. *Me, I just go with the rate of flow - it's
safer that way.

Exactly!!
