“Two years ago, I drove across most of Montana one day. Mostly between 90 and 105. Speed limit was 80.
Toward the end of the day, a very friendly trooper decided to show me the cool lights on his roof and give me a piece of paper to let me know how fast I was going. Only 93.”
Too bad the limit wasn’t still “Reasonable and Prudent” as it has been a couple of periods in the past. I got an “Energy Conservation” ticket for going 70 in 1979 when the national speed limit was 55. Handed the trooper a $5 bill and went on my way with no points on my license. Speed limit on the same stretch of interstate now is 80.
True.
I called the court and actually had my trial on the phone. I admitted that I was doing 93 in an 80 but then I said “But you have such awesome roads!”
That got me probation before judgement, pay the $70 fine and no points. That’s all I wanted.
Frankly, it was worth $70 to drive at 100mph for several hours.
