Keeping the car in drive, without touching the brakes, but 1/3 of teh way down, I'll hit 55, in which I then downshift the vehicle and being in the lower gear, will take me to teh bottom of teh hill, at teh traffic light.
SO this guy behind me, in his lifted muscle wagon, get's behind me at the crest when I'm doing 27mph, and he honks his horn and raises up his hands in disguest. Of course, I did nothing, and by teh time I hit 55, he was way, way, way, back.
As for this guy getting pulled over for 50, it doesn't say what lane he was in.
I grew up learning right lane courtesy, meaning that you pass left and stay right when not passing. I know people that think it's their right to sit in the left lane at or below the speed limit while tons of cars are passing on the right, which is unsafe. Around SD, traffic is in the 75-85mph range, so if you go slow you need to stay to the right lanes.
He did catch up to me later and started cussing at me. I smiled and yelled "I'm currently averaging 41.9mpg today, what's yours?"
