Why is it when Im going to work at 430am at 60mph people are passing me at what I assume to be about 70-90 mph are you already late for work or in a hurry...and yes I am in the slow lane..

People travel at the speed they feel safe, and a lot of roads around here, 70 isn't really unsafe. Assuming an attentive driver and decently maintained vehicle. Me, I keep it down to 7-9mph over.
70 is dangerous the faster you go the less time you have to react

Here is a lesson for no one in particular I have to be at work at 6am I live in the outskirts of Laplata I work in Washington DC I leave my home at 430am I get to work at 515 - 530am isnt easier to leave alot earlier than to drive like a bat out of he!! to get to work.I am part of this (I drive from PF to Baltimore daily) and leave my house a few minutes before 5AM. As stated above, 5 minutes later can carry more than a 1:1 on arrival time due to the building traffic volumes. More so, there seems to be an unwritten rule that early in the AM where most people on the road are blue collar guys getting to their jobs (lots of construction / trades workers) and the cops generally leave them alone assuming they aren't being @sshats. Speeds are up but everyone is driving uniformly and not erratically. There is always good flow but there very much is the left lane = fast vs right lane = slow adherence.

Agree, especially when the deer population is so high!! Nothing like going 70 mph down 234 and then wham!!! Bambi decides it wants to cross the road.
Yum, Tenderized Bambi!

Why, because you're a flex time employee and leave early or one of the construction types?
And 50 is more dangerous than 30. Obviously, if you dont have the sightlines to be able to spot and avoid obstacles then that speed would be unsafe. As to the deer argument, virtually the only people killed by deer are people who swerve to avoid them hit really deadly crap. Very few people are killed by deer strikes. There are times and places such speeds are safe, and other times and place it is not. But these things have very little correlation with posted speed limits, especially in MD.
speed limit is 55 not a 105 as for your swerve lesson 70 you have less time than you do at 30 no matter how far you can see ahead unless you can see into the future.
