From what I understand it all has to do with the number of axles, 3 axles or more and you're the same as a semi truck with a trailer and must abide by the same rules, that's why you'll see large panel trucks doing 65, even though they are bigger than you and your trailer, they still only have 2 axles. I generally follow the semi's, they usually know the best lanes to stay in, especially when merging freeways. I also stick to 60 mph when towing, funny, when you're forced to drive the slower mph you don't get as agitated with other drivers passing you by which makes the drive more enjoyable. The CHP will definitely ticket you for going over the speed limit, CA needs all the money it can get. Also remember to stay in the 2 far right lanes, I got a ticket once for being in the 2nd lane, the lane next to the fast lane, should have fought it as it was a merging lane that became an outside lane a 1/4 mile up but it was in some dink hole town 4 hours away from home.
