Speeding In Montana

[Dave N]

I would like to see a 55 MPH speed limit on the interstate highways again just to watch people lose their shit. It would be character building.

Drive through the Salt Lake Valley sometime. mtmuley

I had to drive out of Philadelphia last fall. 75-80 in a 45 just to keep from getting ran off the freeway.

I was in Philly last Spring. I didn't see one attractive woman, not one....not even in the airport.
No particular point.

I still shudder thinking about Dallas/Ft. Worth. That actually scared me, and I'm a leadfoot gearhead!

That's been my experience when you get east of the Rockies

Local Montana folks have no clue how to drive. They use the turn lane as a speed up lane to merge into traffic and then when you can’t pass them they slow down to below the speed limit.

I am pretty sure Oregon teaches this in drivers Ed.

I would be happy with 55 MPH for east bound on I 90 and I 94 during the month of November.

I've been to every corner of this country. There are the same amount of crap drivers in every state.

Once during rush hour in SLC we watched a bright yellow Corvette come from the left freeway entry ramp and somehow miraculously crossed five lanes through traffic at high speed, exiting at the next exit on the right. It was both very scary as well as impressive! We were glad to reach our destination and get the hell out of SLC traffic!

This is common place in Houston. Those little black and white signs act more like a minimum limit. Except during rush hours. If the traffic isn’t there, our normal speed is around 80 on the freeways

Who buys a vette to drive the speed limit? Serious question, you can drive 40 in the old station wagon

Welcome to Chicago, where doing 80 lets you see a squad car roll on past you without giving you a glance.

The speed limit on the Montana interstate from MT to ID is 80.
Since I am retired, there is no need for me to go fast, so I typically do the speed limit.
