Patton Oswalt's bit comes to mind about how every year after 90, one law no longer applies to you. Speeding was one of the earlier ones, I think this guy is able to legally murder so long as he does it with his hands.

Speed limits already are optional for everyone over 90, that's why they all travel 30 under it.

A limit is not a target

Most highways interstates have minimum speed limits as well (they're just not posted). 30 under is against the law on a lot of them. It is extremely dangerous to be going that much slower than the flow of traffic. Especially while merging onto the highway interstate.

Edit: Used the word highway when I meant interstate.

Not true, how do you think tractors get from one feild to the next? How do you think cyclist can bike cross-country? How do you think the amish get to town? How do you think people make a 90 deg turn to a side road or driveway?

By milage most highways connect small rural trade centers and villages.

Controlled access highways will have an explicit minimun that's not always posted on every sign. Aside from that specific type of highway you aren't supposed to obstruct traffic, but you can satisfy the requirement by pulling off to the side of the road when traffic builds up behind you. Slow vehicles may also be required to use special signage but they aren't prohibited.

Shit I specifically meant interstate highways not just state highways. Edited. Thanks!
