Amen to this. It is ALWAYS incumbent on the vehicle doing the passing to do it in a safe manner. Has nothing to do with the vehicle in front of him or how fast he is going.
Personally, I don't do 55 in a 65 or 70 zone but I do run no faster than 60 (my own personal comfort level). I try to stay out of the way of the maniacs in the left lanes (
) and only venture over there when some idiot (
) is running slower than I am and blocking the right lane.
