Once when I was 15, I was driving the family van north on i-5 coming down the Grapevine at 80 MPH, and was passed on the right like I was standing still by an 18 wheeler.

Generally the speed limit for tractor/trailers is 55 MPH and they do 60. On roads where the limit for everyone is 75 or 80, I see the truckers going 70 or more.
