just out of interest -
what is the official speed limit these days on the interstates in the USA?
like when do you get booked.

secondary roads speed limits?

its all going to (IMG:style_emoticons/default/stromberg.gif) down here.
i moved out of the inner city i could not stand it anymore. down to 30kmh.
thats not mph, thats kph.
dickheads on pushbikes pass you on the left (thats right side where you are).
i won't even mention the electric scooters and bikes overtaking. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

out here near the peripheric (fancy french for ring road (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) ) its mostly the old urban limit of 60kmh (35mph in USA "imperial") or 50kmh.

our interstate highways are mainly 110 kmh and strictly enforced. cameras and camera cars everywhere. we have all ceased to call it a police state because the cops are nowhere to be seen. all automated enforcement and contract camera car companies.
you might be tempted to call it a nanny state, but only if joseph stalin was your grandmother.

the tickets are off the planet. serious $ $250 start and headed up to $1k. + demerit points. at 30 kmh over they impound the car. you lose your license.
they might even crush the car, depends on how much beyond 30 kmh+the limit you are.

and to add insult to injury they have started lowering the speed limit on secondary country roads to 80kmh. it used to be 100kmh.

i am glad i was born when i was and got to enjoy driving when driving was driving.

meanwhile the idiots who can't drive but have cars and keys to them continue to crash their cars, roll overs, head ons you name it - all at a snails pace.

90 mph (145 kmh) if on interstate down here is instant impound and give us your license territory.

but i do have a secret location down here, close-ish to the "garage" for 6.30 am sunday morning wind outs in the 914 and the renault. i call it the back straight. don't tell anyone or they will put a camera in.
