i figured a straight flat highway is better than a little windy road (the two routes to my house) so i went w/ the highway. i think going slower than that would have probably been bad because i woulda been obstructing traffic. just my opinion but i don't think its any safer to be going less than 55 and have even more people blowing by you. anyway, i guess i know now but i never imagnined the back end would go out on me like that. i was even being careful not to accelerate hard.
