I wish it was all 100. I could get to Downtown Lansing in 20 minutes, Grand Rapids in an hour, and up north in 90 minutes....legally. ;)

For most crappy econocars, anything over 80 is academic, because they can't do it.

LOL! It's good to see someone in this country still has a backbone, a sense of humor, and some American know-how.
On most interstates, there shouldn't even be a speed limit (and if so, it should be around 80-85), save for the "safe and prudent" approach that Montana used before the feds blackmailed them into shutting that down.

Greetings, Dan -- Great story! My one question is, what are the legal ramifications for anyone pulled over and ticketed while the sign was displayed? Would the ticket be thrown out of court or would the gummint still extract its pound of flesh?
Regards,
Lenny

On my way to work, there is no speed limit.
(Autobahn 45).

I commute to work 48 miles each way and it's all straight and flat rural county roads at a ridiculously slow 55mph.
In a properly equipped performance car like I drive, it's possible to drive a sustained 120mph safely but of course it's considered reckless driving to do so.
This is the ONE typical American policy I would trade away to Germany in exchange for their Autobahn policy. .

My favorite part of Michigan driving is teh first mile north of the Ohio border on I-75.
Everybody mashes it down from the strictly enforced 65mph in Ohio to the "Speed limits are mainly a suggestion" attitude in Michigan.

I agree. On the interstate, a legal 75 or 80 as traffic permits, isn't unreasonable.

I gotta tell ya. I have been living in Texas since 1975. When I drive in between cities outside Dallas I can drive 70 mph no problem. As long as its outside the city limits. Last time I visited my family in Michigan, I was driving between Fenton and Grand Blanc, and since I was out of the city limit of Fenton, I proceeded to head toward 70 mph. Yep, got stopped by a cop. I told him the truth and fortunately he let me off with a warning.
