As a new driver behind the wheel for a few days over a month I have some questions. I am just mastering driving the posted speed limit vs a few under and in some cases the extra 5 Ive heard I am allowed. The problem is, it seems no one goes the limit or even 5 over. I was on i 95 and caught myself easily doing 65 with cars passing me in the 55-60mph zones. I find even on city streets with 25,35mph limits, flks do 45 or more. I see where it can be a safety concern on city streets with parked cars, schools and intersections, but what about the interstate?
So, unoffically, do I keep up with traffic or stick to the limit or even slower? I know the driving manual talked about keeping with the flow of traffic, however it can warn if you drive the posted limit and conditions are unsafe from excessive traffic, weather, etc you can still get a ticket.
My dad goes 5 over any limit. On the interstate he tries to keep up with the pack. If he cant, which is most the case, he backs off to 5 over the limit.
