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.

    You can’t be serious and you are a danger to others regardless, good fucking christ.

      Why is it dangerous to go 100 whenever I pulled behind someone I slowed until they moved over. I wasn’t going straight 100.

        No one cares if you decide to kill yourself in a car, we’re just concerned you’ll hit a car carrying a family with two small children and kill them too.

    Don’t do that. Very unsafe, for both you and other drivers out there.

    Edit: From my understanding, you’re allowed only an extra 5 miles per hour in the fast lane, just enough to safely pass other vehicles.

      That’s very interesting can I ask do you know where the social laws come into play. Since I see like unwritten highway areas. Up near Plainfield. Then like this ppl go 10-20 I just decided to go 40-50 because I had a handle on the situation. Also everything seems quite slow for me.

        I don’t know what your level of legal driving instructions and training are, nor am I a legal expert.

        I suggest you go to your local DMV (Department of Motor Vehicles), and simply ask for a study guide. They should have one on the ready for anyone that asks.

        There are plenty of reasons they make such rules and regulations, main reason is to keep people (and bicyclists and pedestrians) safe.

        I know it can be tempting to get wherever you’re trying to go faster, but not only is it illegal, it’s not safe either.
