> Almost every driver goes 5-10 miles above the speed limit on the highway
That's really only the case in states that have kept their NMSL (National Maximum Speed Limit) era laws on the books. In states that have speed limits 75 mph or above, you're not going to find traffic flowing at 85 to 90 mph. Conversely, in states where they still have large sections of highways still posted at 55 mph, you will routinely see traffic flowing at 70 to 80 mph.
> and 0-5 miles above everywhere else.
I have seen plenty of instances where people drive at 35 to 40 mph in 25 mph zones. These are roadways that were formerly posted at 35 mph, but the town, for some odd reason decided to reduce the speed limit to 25 mph.
