Around here (Idaho), the highways have a speed limit of 55 to 65 mph, and the freeway has a speed limit of 65 or 80 mph. On any of those, you would have people backed up far behind you, if you drive 50 mph. Most people seem to go 5 over the speed limit at a minimum, an 7-10 over seems to becoming more common.
