OK, a couple of questions...
Setup: speed limit 60, 2-lanes one direction with contolled-access.
A Semi-Truck is climbing a hill at 45 MPH, and I choose 55 mph (under the limit). So, I pass. Minimum is 40 mph. Do I deserve a ticket for passing?
But yeah, inertia limits (similar to Europe) are definitely warranted -- but hard to enforce in the private segment vs. truck travel. The "peaved" segment would definitely pile up, though. I don't waste time and accelerate to pass -- yes... it's inefficient, but avoids anger on the part of "restrained speeders".
Further, I understand that some "enjoy" teaching these folks a lesson, but remember this: you cannot change individual behavior in one simple example. Road rage is NOT worth it. Education and forums like this are the place to educate and inform...
