I drive faster than I should, and I have lots of company. When I stick to the old usually safe (from tickets) nine miles over the speed limit, I get passed like I’m driving nine miles under. When I allow myself to keep up with the surrounding traffic, there’s always someone who speeds past all of us like he’s got his own express lane and we’re idling in I-26 traffic out of Charleston at 5 p.m. on a Friday.
