Amazing... really is.
But most have raised the limit above 55 now, haven't they? Between Las Vegas and San Diego, the speed limit is 75, and a surprising amount of people are obviously passing at over a hundred.

between Tucson and Phx, LV, San Diego and any
main artery into Ca is all 75, and most everyone drives 85+ w/o getting pulled over. About the only time anyone gets pulled over is if you are driving erratically, weaving in and out of cars etc. I followed a Border Patrol Van home one nite from Phx to Tucson (he was headed to Nogales Mx Im sure) it was at nite and we avg 95 the whole way and passed a few hwy patrol cars in the process. thats an interesting vid though...sucks to live in GA

I've logged a gazillion miles on the highway featured in the video (I-285). Got pulled over once on a Thanksgiving morning and got a warning, but also made an appearance on the evening news as there was a cameraman and reporter in the car doing a report on holiday traffic. Got a ticket early one dark morning long ago 'cos I'd gotten fed-up with a car to my right that kept pacing me no matter how fast I went... whoops; turned-out to be an unmarked Dekalb County cruiser. He admired my car, a '68 Mustang, and almost seemed reluctant to issue the $35 ticket. To tell the truth, I did not realize the speed limit on '285 was 55. I tend to run at the prevailing speed of traffic or a tick above, enough to maintain the left lane most of the time, and vehicles (usually SUVs and pickups, curiously) occasionally pass as if I were dragging an anchor. Don't know what I'd fear worse at that speed, being overrun by a big rig, or frankly, shot. I've also seen some truly horrific accidents on that road, like "the big one" at Talladega or Daytona. (Edit: It's a wonder the stunt in the video didn't cause one.) dcb Last edited by dcarrb; 10-23-2006 at 06:03 AM.
