I lose track very soon into the trip. Doesnt matter whether its driving around here, or going downstate and back, nearly everyone I see on the road still drives like a bat out of hell. You can never go fast enough for them, so no sense even trying. Even on the beat up country road going to my house, I see people everyday blowing past me at about 65-70 mph. Even through the neighborhood where there are sharp corners and kids playing. People squeal their tires around my corner everyday.

Only thing I have noticed is 18 wheelers are slowing down on the freeway downstate, they tend to run right around 65 like I do. Not around here though, they still drive like jerks. Even just this morning one passed me (I was going the speed limit) and ran the oncoming traffic off the road.
