Which pretty much means you can go 100 MPH.

Hell, they go 100 mph anyway. Especially on I-44 (the Turner Turnpike), between OKC and Tulsa. That's why I refuse to drive on it unless I have no other choice.

Well realistically cops in my experience give a 10 mph leeway on interstates... if published is 65 anything under 75 isn’t likely to get pulled over unless you are driving recklessly...

Around urban centers where they keep the speed limits 55... most folks do 70 or more and rarely see anyone getting pulled over.

20 over the limit in other situations almost always will get you tagged, if there are cops around.

I don't think that works as well in Oklahoma. No shortage of pulled over vehicles when I've driven through. I figured that was why the signs say "No Tolerance".

“Which pretty much means you can go 100 MPH.”

I was doing 100 on I-75 and got passed by a Prius. I let it go since my wife was with me.

Ever run around beltway 8 in Houston during the wee hours of the morning?

I’ve found you get slack up to 10mph over.

I think the HiPo’s have a beeper when someone goes 11 over.

You need to understand that these Turnpikes are private roads and the HiPo’s only have authority via contract, not state law. If the Turnpike Authority chose to, they could cancel the contract and we’d have an autobahn.
