Irate Too fast on 2 lanes

Took a nice ride down to WI over the weekend. Very enjoyable except I was suprised how fast the traffic was moving on Saturday - nothing less than 65 it seemed. And on state hwy 18 (a 2-lane 55mph road) it was all running at 70!

I think that's crazy, especially when there was a lot of farm equipmnet on the roads too.

Trying to keep my speed down to 65 I got passed on the right by some lady in a VW! She blew by on a short left-turn bypass lane.

I don't like being the guy leading a parade down the highway but 70 mph on 2 lanes is just too quick to be safe.

Call me old or call me slow, but I like 60mph just fine on those roads.

Cal
