Re: National Speed Limit
It's funny...and those who live in this area know this well...
When driving within a 60 mile radius of Washington, DC, it's no holds barred, drive at your caution racing. People pass on the left, right, and shoulders, driving various speeds above and below the speed limit. And the cops are doing 15 over what the fastest car in your stretch is doing because he's late for roll call.
However, once you hit several key places (a few miles west of Frederick, Route 50 after the 50/301 split, Fredericksburg to name a few), all of a sudden, a more civilized driving authority takes hold. People do about the same speed (somewhere between 5 and 10 over for the most part) in the right lane(s), and pass on the left, without having to worry about the left lane clogger.
