    IIRC....there's a section on the 15 S/O SLC that is experimenting with 80 mph.

    I hear ya, around here you can spot the Ontario trucks set at 105kph as our limit is 110 and most run around 115, I say make jon law earn their pay and just pull over and lay a BIG fine on the speeders and leave the rest of us alone

    It's not like were running at 100 MPH or faster....
    But where's the logic????
    In CALIF there are people who lay down some hard cash for a Vette, AMG, Ferrari, ect... and in the L.A. Metro area where most of the HPC buyers live, you can't even get those cars out of 2nd gear. But get out on the 395 where there's nary a soul...and they limit trucks to 55 MPH...:biggrin_2552:

    I'll get you started.....

    Why is your truck safe at 55 in California, Illinois and Ohio, and then considered safe in safe Nevada at 75?

    My guess is to protect all of liberals by giving them ample time to get out of the way....NV doesn't give a rat's a-z-z about Reid and all they're praying....

    I am always baffled wondering who "the people" are as the leaders of both our countries are supposed to be "by the people for the people"

    Well, the liberals might be the issue in California, but in some of the other states, I believe they saw it as a money maker.

    That's a given....just like AZ and their portable speed cameras.

    Tip: They usually place the cameras in the hinterlands on the highways. If you are using your high beams or another vehicle high beams are on in front of you....look for the tell-tale flash from the lights on the shoulder. You can see the flash back about a quarter of a mile away. Uh, this works only at night in clear conditions.....
