Putting on my truck drivers hat; trucks are limited to 56 but they're subject to a margin of error in the tacho'/speedo', most probably do about 54 once you allow for the error, most car speedo's however are even more inaccurate so you might well be showing 60 to go with the flow.
As Laney points out a lot of drivers (wrongly) feel pressured to go as fast as they can but then you come up against certain supermarkets who for the sake of PR limit their drivers to 53 or 50 (+ or - error), that's when the 'elephant racing' starts as one truck tries to get past the other, economy driving is all very well and their mpg figures probably look good, just don't ask what they do to the other 95% of road users.
