    Go to the nearest truckstop, look at the bulletin board by the fuel desk.
    If there is a picture of your truck on a wanted poster, with a "wanted-dead or alive" reward, boy are you in trouble.

    If you’re in Florida make sure you maintain 45, wouldn’t want you to get griped at for that too :)

    they called out the Federal Marshal's on you

    when you stop at the truck stop, they will bang on your door, with AK-47's drawn.

    then, you will be hog tied and hauled off to Leavenworth.

    gonna be a tough night for you tonight.

    ...i believe if you get caught its " disobeying traffic signal "
