All that can be asked of you when you are driving, with regard to speed, is that you go the speed limit. If you don't feel comfortable going over the speed limit, that is fine. Some of us are sort of dare devils and some of us have lead for feet. There is nothing wrong with being a law abiding citizen.
The problem starts when you don't go at least the speed limit. So, a good rule of thumb is to take a quick look in your rear view mirror and see if there is a large line of traffic behind you. Now, look forward...as you should be anyway. If you don't see anyone in front of you, or, the people in front of you are far away from you, and you have given your rear view mirror a quick glance and you see that there is a train of cars behind you, you are the problem. You are probably going below the lawful speed limit and, you are likely going way below what people tend to drive on that road.
So, if you can't bring yourself to speed a little...and, we may even only be talking 5 miles per hour over the posted speed limit...than, at least get your car up to the speed limit because you are successfully pissing off every single person behind you. We have no right to ask you to speed. We do, however, have every right in the world to ask you to drive the lawful 45 miles an hour that was posted on that speed limit sign you just turtled past. And if you don't obey that speed limit, don't be shocked my the amount of times people behind you honk their horn at you or flip you the bird!
