FL has a unique problem with speeders... Drivers down there don't use two things - speedometers and turn signals. I have put a lot of miles on the freeways of FL - I-75, I-95, I-4 - and man... those folks MOVE. If you are not willing to do 80, you're done. I remember going down I-95 from GA to Daytona, doing 80+ in a hurricane!!! I-4 rolls pretty good until you get to the Indian River bridge, where Orlando starts to sprawl out. Another stretch that is fast - I-95 from south of the DC metro area, roughly exit 148 at Quantico, to north of Richmond, near the 295 exit. That stretch has three distinct lanes with three distinct speeds... the right lane is the speed limit; the middle lane is 5-10 over and the left lane is upwards of 20 over. I have been in a line of traffic, all doing well over 85, and passed a VSP car and did not get touched. |
