Hi guys,

I’m a new driver here(US) but I have had experience from when I was 12 in India (I’m 16 now). I normally go fine on local roads. The way I drive on the highway has me questioning this.

Here’s how I drive:

I get into the left-most lane

I do at least 70 mph (depends on the flow of traffic if I go faster or slower) (I will try to flash my lights first someone did that to me and I moved over)

I’ll pass on the right if the person in front is going slow and holding up the traffic behind them (me and other cars)

I change lanes more than the average person (I check the rearview mirror, side mirror, and my blind spot every time I switch)

If there is no one in front of me I speed up to 80 or 90 mph and I catch up to the next group of cars

This is a general list of how I drive on the highway. Is this being reckless?

    Going 90 MPH under any circumstance is considered pretty reckless in the eyes of the law. The only times you should be going that fast are if you’re passing someone going 85 mph (the highest posted speed limit in Texas) or 75-80 mph (typical interstate speeds). Going 90 MPH on an expressway near the hustle-and-bustle of an American metropolis is pretty boneheaded.
