Actually, I know more than one police officer who will write you a ticket for obstructing traffic even if you are travelling at exactly the speed limit. Often smooth traffic flow is considered much, much more important that enforcement of a speed limit that many police officers consider ill-advised. In any case, when courtesy doesn't cost you anything, try being courteous to the other drivers (this is regardless of what speed you choose to drive at). It's easy, and it reduces blood pressure and increases safety. Gee, this is in alt.flame, and I'm being pleasant.
