We took a little road trip up to NH this month and I was surprised to find much more
tolerance for my slow-poke driving at the speed limit. If it said 55, I stuck to 55.
No problems. The very few folks driving 80 in the right lane, just fish-tailed around me me,
as they zig-zagged their way to their next speeding ticket.. (Or horrific crash).

On roads where the limit was 65, I found there were folks sticking to 55 in the right lane,
so I jointed them, for a relaxing drive. Got pretty good MPG for an SUV.

I think avoiding the weekend speeder crowd was a smart move.
Those folks tend to crash a lot and bog down the roads.
