I'm a 63 to 65 mph person myself. I leave two to three car lengths for stopping room and it never fails someone will always jump in and then stop. I have a forward facing camera, it records in 5 hour bursts, just because I have learned you cant breed out stupid; trust me I have seen my share on icy roads and heavy rains (EMT/Paramedic Ambulance Driver.)

I try to keep it under 65. The faster I go, the more wind resistance, and the lower the gas milage. I get passes constantly, but I don't mind at all.
p.s. I don't use cruise control when I tow. I can react faster that way. The down side is I need to take a break every couple of hours (my wife won't drive when we tow.) If you do the math, that means we don't travel more than about 225 - 250 miles a day.Vic & Mary Ann Sassone, McKinney, Texas

Yikes!
This gets back to the never ending discussions about tow vehicle size. That was way more vehicle than needed, but if you are dumb enough, you can get in trouble with anything.
I'm usually somewhere between trailer speed limit and car speed limit, up to 65, depending on conditions. Plus the occasional pass. But you can bet I'm on the low end coming up to things like the Hood Canal Bridge (40 speed limit) and Tacoma Narrows Bridge. If I get out into a frequently windy area and it isn't, I'll usually ratchet it up.
Speed limits are maximums. "Drive according to conditions". And experience/capability.Last edited by dbphillips; 03-24-2021 at 03:29 PM.
