I usually see those sort of drivers coming. If I'm going 78 in the left lane and I see Richard Petty coming up, I floor it, complete the pass, and move into the next lane over. (Yes, this sort of thing happens, once every 120 or so miles, guessing.)

I hate left lane riders and the ******** that treat the left lane like their own speedway. Both are dangerous ******** in their own ways. F all of you. 
The fact that some people actually think that they are entitled to cruise at 20 or more over the speed limit is indicative of what a crappy society we have become.
You guys must live in Amish country, and drive a horse and buggy. These crazy, whacky "90 mph drivers" are the norm here. There isn't one crazed maniac blowing past everyone and causing havoc, putting everyone in danger. 90 is the typical cruising speed in the left lane. Car after car after car after car (you get the picture) will be doing 90 in the left lane up here. As in, there will literally be 10, 20, 30, etc. cars in a row just cruising in the left lane doing 90. And then there may be a lull, and another 10, 20, 30 cars behind them doing 90. They're not drag-racing ... they're just going from point A to point B, casually, like everyone else.
The maniacs are the fools in rice rockets and on motorcycles weaving in and out of traffic going 100+.
Literally no one goes below 80 on a 3-lane highway up here when there isn't congestion causing everyone to slow down ... except for the occasional frail person in a beaten up 1990s Honda Accord who just can't get their car to go a normal speed.

At what speed above the speed limit (if any), on a 3-lane highway, is society no longer crappy? Or should we all be going 65 on I95 up through MA in order to be non-crappy?
I'd be in favor of raising speed limits if most people knew how to drive, but since most don't, I'm not.
Laws should be enforced, or they cease to be laws, which is exactly our problem- and not only on the roads.
So, then, for a non-crappy society, folks should be driving 65 mph MAX on I95? And then folks would drive 55-60 in the non-passing lanes?
Yikes.
What if we just raised the speed limit to 90 on major highways? Would society be crappy if everyone obeyed that speed limit?
You drive 15 to 25 miles over the speed limit. That is criminal. So cool.

With guns blazin'.
I feel like things are far more dangerous on the roads when there's congestion ... stop and go, people fighting to change lanes without much room to do so because everything's slow and there's no room ... I would think congestion would increase greatly with people on the road for a longer period of time given that they're now driving much slower at 65 or less. I feel much less safe driving through more residential/business areas, with folks making bad turns, blowing through lights, etc.
You didn't read my post (you know, the one you quoted above) talking about the crazed maniacs in rice rockets and on motorcycles zooming in and out of traffic?
me n 1 drove from nj to LA for a few weeks late summer to get him an apt after he and GF got back from 6 weeks hosteling around euro for $30 bucks a day and it was a real education not killing a biker or losing a mirror from a punch once we hit Hoover dam. The bikers were daredevils #crazy
