On secondary roads I stay at speed limit or flow but never over 60.

I think keeping with flow, not backing up traffic and keeping a safe distance is more important than the mph number. I just don't want to be "that old man" that the other drivers are cursing at.
I am on the same page with you. Lets all get over the speed NUMBER and learn to drive with the FLOW of traffic (within reason of course). But most especially lets all learn proper lane usage!!!
