Hi robert, 
Maybe you haven't driven there lately.
You can get passed by a CHP  while you're going 80.   ( tho usually when is
around, everyone slows down to about 65 for a few minutes ) 
It's also sometimes 4 lanes wide, just packed full of cars, all going 65 to
85. 
Lots of places, you'd be a hazard going 70,
And I'm not exaggerating all that much either.

 Average velocity along interstate 5

I thought the speed limit in California was 70.
