I'll be doing 60mph in the outside lane provided that the posted speed limit is not less than 60 mph. Pedal to the metal everybody else and God speed.

15 Over can get you hauled to jail for Reckless Driving. Be careful.

Driving in excess of the posted speed limit is a crime. If one thinks the penalties are too severe, don't do it; OR leave earlier for your destination.

FWIW, I have no more sympathies for speeders than I do for rapists and bank robbers, etc. Let the punishment fit the crime. BTW, I think the the Old Testament is kinda' cool...but that's just me.

I dunno'. I got a speeding ticket on the Florida Turnpike in 1985 and IIRC, I paid the $50 fine and didn't speed no more.

geeze i bet that's a pricey ticket

It should be a pricey ticket. The speed limit is the speed limit just as much as a 30.06 sign is the CC limit.
