[QUOTE="bluehdmc, post: 938822, member: 18471"] If your driving a lot slower than other traffic on the highway it is hazardous. There is NO WAY I am going to drive 55 on the NJ Turnpike at 7 am on a weekday morning when other traffic is driving 65+. The speed limit may be 55 but I don't need another tractor trailer driver 10 ft from my rear bumper, the only way to avoid that is to keep up with surrounding traffic. By keeping up with traffic you can maintain a decent following distance, (In this area you cannot maintain 'ups' 6-8 seconds but you can maintain NJ motor vehicles 4 second recommendation with the ability to look 10 to 12 seconds over other traffic) without some owner/operator trying to run up your rear bumper. That said I don't think the warning letter will hold up. Had an old time feeder driver tell me they used to take double 40's up the NY Thruway with MH's, had to run most of the way with the 4-way flashers on cause you couldn't get up over 40 mph. [/QUOTE]
