Speed limit on fast lane? (lemmy.world)

This be somewhat of a stupid question but is there an exact speed limit for the fast lane on the highway? I was hitting 20 higher to 50 over. Though even if a police officer saw me driving too fast in the fast lane. Will they pull me over just for the speed or will it also matter at the handling of the car. Since like if I was changing lanes I’d do a really long sway to the side unless I have to sharpen it. Then I barely have to move my steering wheel and one hand while keeping it perfectly steady at 100 mph. It felt the same as going 40-50 mph to me.

As a truck driver on the nation's roads for twenty years, I have to say this is exactly the kind of mushbrained nonsense I imagine lives in the heads of average Indiana drivers.

Not just Indiana. All over the place.

True, but having driven in L.A. for years and having experienced the hellish thing that is driving in Atlanta, never have I experienced more inconsiderate and dangerous drivers than I have since I moved to Terre Haute about a decade ago.

Almost no one ever uses their turn signals. It's kind of incredible. It's like someone breaks into everyone's cars and secretly steals the signal lights, because so few people use them that it almost seems intentional.

And pretty much every day there's a story about someone dying on our roads.

That’s the thing I almost always use my signal.

That doesn't make driving 100 mph safe.
