Around here in Eastern MA, the norm is now to travel 10 or even 15 mph under the speed limit one minute, and then the same guy who was doing 20 in a 35 zone speeds up to 45 as soon as the limit changes to 35 or 40.

This morning at 8 am I'm driving back from the grocery store. 45 zone the whole way. No cars except one in front of me...doing 35 in a 45


Another good one: people doing the speed limit on the highway jumping on their brakes when they see a speed trap. The cops don't give you credits for going under the posted limit. If you weren't speeding...don't slow down. I am convinced this is a huge contributor to highway traffic here.
