MA state troopers are a menace on Route 3 South (from Nashua to I-495 Junction )

Today I was driving to work at the usual speed of 65M-70M on Route 3S from Nashua to 495 Junction. A trooper pulled me out and said I was going 75+ on a 55M max limit High way. These speed limits are arbitrary. They might have been useful when Route 3 was a 2 lane high way. Now Route 3 is a 3 lane high way. No one goes at 55MPH. every body on the high way knows it is safe to go beyond 55MPH. Only the state troopers go very slowly. they go at 55MPH and make every one go at that speed. They occupy the faster lane, there by obstructing the whole traffic flow. If you seem to trail them too closely and pass them from another lane, then the ticket is guaranteed. All they want is your respect and you need to slow down so that they can hog the road and go at their own leisurely pace. The state troopers do not have sympathy for hard working folks who want to reach work places on time.
It is high time the speed limits are changed to 65MPH on Route 3 from Nashua to 495 Junction.

True indeed. Route 3 is less crowded and is comfortable.
