Particularly on congested freeways, it's much safer to travel at roughly the same speed as everyone else -- not faster, but not slower, either. It's like a herd of cattle out there; run too slow and you just might get run over.
It was early morning on a weekend, so I doubt he was "pushed by traffic" (reality is, when I confronted him with the evidence, he admitted that the wide open road was just too much...
)
He hit 80 for several minutes and held it... that was the straw that broke the camel's back... so to speak.
He has since quite changed his driving habits...
