Hrmmm... a bit of angst in this thread. Amusing.

I have been experimenting with driving lower than the PSL on the homeward leg of my commute because I work second-shift, and am on 65-70mph roads from around 12:10 to 12:40am every weeknight. Since there is minimal traffic, the only thing I have to worry about is being pulled over on suspicion of drunk driving. Yeah, don't laugh, it happened to my wife when she was driving 5 under going up a large hill! The cops around here are under pressure to pull over drunken college students (of which there are many) and they cast their nets a little wide sometimes.

So far I have had no issues driving under the PSL. In fact, I often find that I can hook up with an 18 wheeler going about the same speed and semi-draft (don't like getting close enough to really draft) while going the slower speed I want. I think it's something I'll continue to do.
