Over the years I've had a number of these types of individuals laying on my stainless steel table. Unfortunately I've also had their innocent children, their wives, AND the innocent victims who were driving safely in other vehicles.

If some could see life and death through my eyes, then they would understand why I am so protective of all life. I've seen way more than my share of needless, senseless death.

Some people are beyond having the capability to understand, and all to often, it is the innocents that pay the ultimate price.

You ever read the "Tortoise and the Hare", you might want to.
if you care about hindering traffic and everyone is driving between 70 and 90, you stay off the interstate then? on the open road 65 often IS hindering traffic; who have we appointed arbiter of the "proper" speed for driving a motorhome; you're making so many erroneous assumptions that you're sounding a bit silly. Somw say 55 some say 62 some say 64-67, some say 70; who decides what's 'right'? Or...is it more dependent upon the conditions, driver skill and vehicle ability?

I share all of your concerns and you're making many assumptions about me that are incorrect. Reckless/ drunk driving is a pet peeve of mine and I hate when innocent people are affected.

Can't be too much of a pet peeve. Reckless is driving an RV at 75+ mph, just sayin. No matter what Jedi skills you think you have.

Yeah, you're right I'm the one being silly here, and all the rest of us too....hmmm maybe you just can't accept the obvious or common sense...be safe and have fun RV'ing however you chose to do it.

Says you, what are the conditions, vehicle and driver ? You've all been brainwashed by others and lack independent/ critical thinking. So dumb, bye

For some their speed is determined by power band for their rig, or optimum fuel mileage speed.
