Yes true, unfortunately their "speed they feel..." is modified by the
risk of a ticket. While the flow is usually in the posted plus 10%
(sometimes a bit higher), the true 85% speed would be some higher than
that minus the posted or minus enforcement. I know I would be higher
than the the current flow on most roads were it not for ticket danger.
