This isn't unique to your faggot state, it turns out most American drivers are uneducated, drugged up morons that want to own the road at any speed necessary. In Charlotte people literally drive the 485 beltway like it's the fucking Motor Speedway and it's white-knuckle driving all around.
But yeah ideally people wouldn't treat the speed limit as speed minimum, and they would be raised slightly with more rigorous licensing systems to facilitate more disciplined driving. Same principles should be applied though, just using "flow of traffic" as a baseline speed like many cops looking for tickets do.

Fair enough Eurobro. Actually you described most non-interstates wirh that. People don't know anything about the basic principles of traffic. In the US no interstate (our limited access highways) has a higher speed limit than 80mph for any stretch, yet you'll regularly be near cities with many interchanges dropping the speed to 55 and still fighting at 90mph

All people and fair, there usually is some cruising idiot holding up lots of traffic and it's best to not stress too much about it. The tailgaters are the inbred retards I mentioned at first, typically. They can fuck off, and again, defensive driving means staying within your comfortable abilities and not letting some schmuck mess with that. Speeders are very dangerous and should be dealt with, especially considering the increasing mass of vehicles today, but that isn't our place as civilian drivers. Either the pigs step up and make society safer or they don't and it's Mad Max out there, but the point is you should pick your battles and simply move over or let the retard make his swerve quickly in that situation, the safety of everyone, the quicker they're off the road the better
