Either my speedometer is broken or there are a lot of people going over the speed limit

Just stay out of the left lane. That's all we ask.

Every commute, I laugh at all of those "big shots" that "show off" by going 64 in a 55 zone
 
Who then show their true colors as they are too wimpy and scared to go any faster than 64 when the speed limit goes to 70

55 through town is out of date. It kind of made sense when the interstate was only two lanes with some dangerous hairpin exits. They need to up it to the usual 70.
 
Construction zones also need to be raised from 45.

It's too bad the hundreds of millions spent on I74 couldn't have resulted in electronic speed limit signs that can change with conditions.
Knoxville to Route 6 should have higher speeds most of the time.

Yeah, I speed, but it is about the only driving law I break (that I'm aware of). About a week ago, a little later than rush hour but still heavy traffic, some person was going 39 in the left lane heading west over the Murray Baker. It wasn't some beat up, old car that couldn't go any faster, either.
 
Back to the aforementioned speeding. I don't give a crap if you are going the speed limit, faster or slower in the left lane; you aren't supposed to be hanging out there. Illinois law. It should be posted on every overpass. If I'm driving 65, 75, 85 or whatever, I pass in the left and move back to the right. If the left is clear, I move over so those on the on ramp can merge without having to worry. Same with vehicles on the side of the road or emergency vehicles....move over, move back.

If I go to pass you in the left lane, don't speed up tough guy/girl. I'm looking at you teenage girls, trust me, I will drive faster than you.
