I left the office quite late tonight and wanted to get home has quickly as possible, but cops, movies and traffic got in the way. Traffic wasn’t terribly bad on I-25, but many drivers were driving slow in the fast lane; therefore, in order to maintain 80, I had to drive in the right-hand lane most of the time I was on I-25. I’m having to drive in the slow lane more often these days to maintain the speed limit or, as I prefer, the natural speed for the road, which, by the way, is always 10 MPH or more above the posted speed limit. A good way to test this is to drive behind a police officer when there isn’t much traffic. I’ve noticed that Albuquerque police, State police and Sheriff officers tend drive 10 to 15 MPH over the speed limit if they are not trolling for tickets or responding to calls.
