I see that we may raise the speed limit on some state turnpikes to 80mph.

That made me wonder why, no matter what the sign says, we think we should drive some faster.

I know you do it...Why do we do it?

I tend to drive based on what I consider a safe speed. Sometimes that’s above the limit, sometimes below. Based on most of my turnpike driving, excluding heavy traffic and construction zones, I’d probably go from driving seven over to two over. JMO, YLMV

Yeah. Speed of traffic, road conditions, other stuff. You have to deal with everybody else's lunacy.
If your feet, hands, and eyes, get old and worn out do as I say not as I do. Stay the Hell off the road.
