Not picking on you...this is just a general question/observation.

I've always wondered.....if the posted limit on an interstate 4-lane is 70 mph, is the speed limit the same in both lanes, or does it only apply to the RH lane?

Was was the intent of the LH lane when the highway was conceived? Now, I fully understand not having the ability to "keep up" and should stay in the RH lane. I had a '55 VW Beetle while in Germany. On a good day with a tail wind and 2 people, it could hit 100 km (62 mph) on the autobahn. 4 people took off another 10 klicks. That was about 1/2 enough to keep up. I used to think Germans with Mercedes or Beemers (back when not everyone in the world had a BMW) drove fast. But, they don't hold a candle to kids now or certain people with blacked out windows. 

We all talk about obeying the laws. But it seems we really mean to only obey some laws.
