Speed limit on fast lane? (self.indiana)

This be somewhat of a stupid question but is there an exact speed limit for the fast lane on the highway? I was hitting 20 higher to 50 over. Though even if a police officer saw me driving too fast in the fast lane. Will they pull me over just for the speed or will it also matter at the handling of the car. Since like if I was changing lanes I’d do a really long sway to the side unless I have to sharpen it. Then I barely have to move my steering wheel and one hand while keeping it perfectly steady at 100 mph. It felt the same as going 40-50 mph to me.

That’s very interesting can I ask do you know where the social laws come into play. Since I see like unwritten highway areas. Up near Plainfield. Then like this ppl go 10-20 I just decided to go 40-50 because I had a handle on the situation. Also everything seems quite slow for me.

"Everything seems quite slow for me"

You sound like me when I was 16 and just started driving.

The rules of the road are to reduce risks. Like something unexpected happening in front of you.

I mean something did but at like 60-70 mph. There was like big debris and I hit it nearly straight on at 70 mph. Nothing happens or changes. I just keep it straight.

I don't know what your level of legal driving instructions and training are, nor am I a legal expert.

I suggest you go to your local DMV (Department of Motor Vehicles), and simply ask for a study guide. They should have one on the ready for anyone that asks.

There are plenty of reasons they make such rules and regulations, main reason is to keep people (and bicyclists and pedestrians) safe.

I know it can be tempting to get wherever you're trying to go faster, but not only is it illegal, it's not safe either.
