I stand corrected, then.  Maybe he was just lucky.  ;)

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.
