David,
Open road? 65 mph is the posted limit for the interstate running
through Salt Lake City. Not that anyone actually goes 65, 75 is more
typical. Now, the rural interstate is posted at 75 mph and actuall
speeds run in the mid 80's. About a year ago I was driving I-15 to
Vegas, going about 80 and saw this little yellow dot in my rear view
mirror.....it never got very big even as it passed me doing 100+.

p.s. anyone tried Montana's no limit? I wonder what the state patrol
feels is reckless?
