Usually true, but traffic on I-10 and I-20 in Texas really does move at super-legal speeds most of the time. If you're running 70 on I-20, you feel like you're going to get run over. I've actually been cruising at 85mph in Houston and had a cop pull up behind me and flip his lights on- not because he was going to pull me over, but to tell me to move the hell out of the way because I was going too slow. Kind of amusing, honestly.
