I ride so slow on the highway I literally get pass by mini vans because I also use the 5~8 mph rule. I was once told that NYS actually lose money if they have to process a $90 speeding ticket (anything 10mph or below). Highway cops/troopers don’t even blink if you are cruising no more than 10+mph over the speed limit. The real money maker is the low speed stuff in the city where they can prey on the old, the weak and the women who drives along at the insane speed of 41 on a 30mph zone. An instant $180 ticket and zero risk to them. ---

Dude you scared me when we rode on the highway together. It’s not safe for a biker to be constantly passed left and right. I don’t care what the limit is, I’m going with the general flow of traffic or a little above. I was freaking out as I’m not used to being passed on highwy and I’m not putting that much trust into someone else to notice me going slower and navigate around me. I’d rather only worry about people in front of me. Plus using the middle lane wasn’t the best choice. On that note, don’t ever try to ride like that in New York City or you will get killed. Speed limits are mere suggestions there. ---

I didnt really see any extra cops on the northway or thruway (24-25) all week. I was actually expecting to see more but didnt even seen them in their usual hiding spots on the northway like on the shoulder by exit 5 and in the grass along the bridge past exit 6 northbound. ---
