Bill,
It is scary. It seems that all our individual rights are slowly disappearing ...and a sorry package of, "it's good for the republic", is being shoved down our throats. What's scary is that this country was fought for ...and founded... on individual rights vs federal monarch type control. Individual rights won, at least for a while. What an unpatriotic shame to lose blood and have posterity throw it all away.
Ron,
Perhaps it was Montana that had an open speed limit. I think it read something to the effect that any "reasonable and prudent " speed was legal. It allowed discretion by H.P. ...but it is surprising how lenient some were. Our local Corvette club was able to take periodic high speed interstate runs to Billings. Corvettes (and Vipers) were designed for higher speeds and commonly deemed safe at speeds around 100 mph, or more.
Of course there is always a few on both sides to abuse the relaxed laws by driving fast junk ...or the "Nader, unsafe at any speed" no matter what H.P. bunch.
