How fast do you drive?

[redbaron]

I know there is a 55-60 group out there...I pass you all the time. Go-ahead and introduce yourselves, we won't bite!

 

[NWIP]

Yep you would pass me, I go 65mph.

Yep you would pass me, I go 65mph.

That would take a few more miles, and I think you start earlier in the day than I do

My sweet spot is 65. Now, when LadyDi is at the wheel... Well, let's just say we tend to run ahead of schedule with her driving.

Generally around the posted "speed limit" to maybe 2-3 mph over.
On the Interstate the sweetspot seems to be about 66-67 mph.
Off the Interstate's, I enjoy driving about 55-57 mph. It's less stressful, & I see more of this beautiful country!
When driving the coach, I never seem to be in a big hurry; but get behind the wheel of the Colorado....a whole different deal....70-77 mph on Interstate. Speed limit plus about 6-7 mph!

Geez...now I have wife envy. Never expected that to happen with this thread.

If it was up to her, I’d probably be driving 35-40!

And, if I COULD get my wife to drive, we’d still be in the barn. Or, perhaps divorce court. ?

Oh...and let’s not talk about passing trucks, ok!? Oy...my nerves. ?

 

[TJ&LadyDi]

LadyDi is a winner in my book; has been for...well...let's just say since I've known her. And, to rub it in a little, she has been doing most of the driving these days. If anyone thinks the ladies can't drive a motorhome, they need to think again. I have proof of that right here beside me.

Of course, she did get good instruction and coaching.

I generally drive 67-68 in the motorhome...of course, in the car or truck, probably 5-10 over; radar detectors in both vehiclues...

 

[Neemer]

My toad is supposed to be limited to 65, so I rarely exceed that.

I had to laugh on my way home yesterday. 43' DP with SUV in tow passed. After we exited the Hwy we found ourselves behind this same DP at a traffic signal. They pulled off at a fuel stop. They passed us again at a high rate of speed about 30 minutes later. No doubt racing to their next fuel stop.
We were cruising at a leisurely 55 mph on a section of road with a 65 mph limit. BTW it was a very nice ride....
