Soooo, that means we'll all be legal on the "Eric's River Run".....

 

:cornut: We haven't had rural interstate speeds that slow(65mph) since the Nixon 55mph long gas line event. 80mph on IH10 to El Paso and now 85mph on a new toll way North of Austin.

So we will be able to drive 73 mph without getting a ticket.....but don't drive 74 or it's wallet time in Ohio!

 

I generally drive 70-75 now & am passed by many folks going much faster. Guess I'll be able to notch it up to 75-80.

 

I usually set for 77 by the speedo anyway, which is about 73 according to the GPS. I'm not doing as many long distance trips as I used to either, so it's no biggie.

 

I think the 55 and 65 limits were very good to Ohio's financial well being, wonder what they'll replace that revenue with?

 

73 in a 70 :-(

 

That's really great for the folks driving clear across the state. For the soccer mom on a 35 mile romp to the next village it makes for a decrease in time by 4 one hundredths of an hour or 2.4 minutes. Woopee.

I am forever more amazed by the drivers whose business is more important than anyone else's on the road, go speeding past on our 35 mile drive to 'the big city'. Did a little slide rule gymnastics one evening and a 10 mile an hour increase in speed, considering one 90 degree junction, 3 small towns to navigate and innumerable control lights, the time difference was 27 seconds. It's always fun to pull up beside those idiots at a stop light.

 

My youngest son just got his first ticket. 82mph cost $145. I told him to keep it down to 73.
