Nope.

Let's stick to the subject at hand:

Why would going just 6 mph slower mean that the following driver would
have decided not to tailgate?

A more cogent question would be: "why would one choose to drive the
SL when the flow is always higher? ( unless the traffic is very
congested).

A little after midnight EDT this morning. You can search this group
for "LLB" to find numerous reports of motorists complying with speed
limits (and not crashing).

Yes. It's rare for me to get a straight answer to a simple question
here.

So... 61 is safe, 55 is certain to result in a crash...

I thought you were being sarcastic, but I don't think anyone can deny
yours is an astonishing 6 mph.

Gps: reread my o.p. and try to determine what lane of rt 15 I was doing 61mph in. I stated it pretty obviously.

Why don't you read mine, then respond relevantly...?

Forget it gps.

It's unfortunate that more "HarryK"s or other thinking folks haven't chimed in here.

Fascinating rebuttal.

You had nitwit Baker, who knows no less than Harry, on your side,
until you failed to comprehend his response.

People don't like to comply with speed limits. Operating at the speed
limit will often if not usually deter anyone even taking a position to
your rear, and if it doesn't dropping a few mph will almost always
deter tailgating. IME.

There's something about motor vehicles that seems to render even
intelligent people into morons, even just discussing their operation.

Virtually everyone thinks they're an expert based on a few hours of
education and training which they immediately discard upon being
granted a license for the ****-poor training their parents provided
all during their formative years.

Be careful out there.
