[Shotimes] Slighty OT-Have you hugged your SDHP today?

[Donald Mallinson]

Adam,

This isn't true anymore.  Some western states had an 
unwritten motto that 100 or less during the day in light or 
no traffic was OK, but I think Montana was the last state 
that would do that.  The US government put a stop to that, 
and now they have a regular speed limit.  The police still 
might give you a pass, but magazine testers that went to 
that "last free" state, said that they got pulled over 
regularly and cited for above 100.  At night, the limit 
drops quite a bit and was not open for many many years.

The highest posted speed limit in the US is now 75.
