I’ve learned to flip it the other way. If there isn’t anyone coming, sure, pass going 60. If there is, i’m probably doing 65-70 just long enough to pass the 55. It minimizes the time I spend in someone’s way and allows me to return to my comfort zone as quickly as possible. It also allows the 55 to not have anyone riding them and the 70+ to sail on past.
Is it legally correct? Nope.
Is it effective? Yup.
Does it allow me to set my cruise at the speed limit and ignore most people most of the time? Hell yes.
