You and Frank Hudon need to get together. He has similar thoughts.

Many years ago, I was setting my own standards for "reasonable" driving and every year or so I got a mean ticket. I just decided that this was getting too expensive as my insurance was way high.

Since, I have obeyed the speed limit. If people get behind me and act frustrated, I pull over and let them by.
Every once is a while I pass them while they are stopped getting a ticket.

I think that the most revealing fact came to my attention before I retired from being an urban planner. It is that the design speed at which the most cars pass a given point is 35 mph. Traffic moving faster than that is either light or subject to "waves" which cause it to surge and stop and is commonly known as "stop and go traffic".

Will the world end if we just obey traffic laws? There might be fewer collisions with related injury and loss of life. Woudn't that be a good thing?
