I have driven 90 across Montana many times in my pickup with the cruise set at 90 and had Montana State Troopers pass me in the fast lane and wave as they go by. I once had a MST tell me that as long as conditions were good and you weren't being danger on the road they would leave you alone. The last speeding ticket I received in Montana was for driving over the 55 MPH and it cost me $5.

The driver was most likely the distraction from the larger load. Or he is very stoopid ! Esquivias allowed the responding trooper to conduct a search on the vehicle.

Well of course I would! Those 80MPH postings are only intended for drivers who lack the skill and experience that I possess. I know my capabilities far better than some bureaucrats who seek only to infringe on my God-given rights. Everybody had damned well better stay out of my way as well!

I don't speed on the highway and drive under the speed limit after dark. Getting older and the price of fuel will do that to most sane folk.
I don't haul drugs either.

People doing a 100 or 110 is not uncommon when going south on I 5 in California........ I was nothbound on I-5 between Grapevine Hill and Bakersfield in an 18 wheeler, just before dark 1n 1976 when I noticed a vehicle overtaking me at high speed, and using both lanes and both shoulders. I moved over as far onto the shoulder as possible and slowed down a little- - - -the guy blew past me without hitting my rig and I got a good view through his windshield of him getting a BJ from his skanky girlfriend!

In 1977 I got clocked doing 112 in a 55 on my new Kawasaki KH750H2. The trooper chewed me out for riding stupid fast, gave me a warning, told me that he had trouble keeping his Triumph Trident 750 from exceeding the speed limit when he was riding with his buddies, and if he caught me again I'd get a ticket for whatever speed I was actually doing, so slow your dumb ass down! Oh, and BTW, if you'd like to trade a ride on my Trident for a ride on your H2, my buddies and I meet at Andy's Shop on Sunday at 10am.

Getting a BJ while driving could have a catastrophic outcome for the driver in the event of a sudden stop if the giver still have any teeth in her mouth. Ouch!

I’ll routinely hit 90-95 but there are too many trucks with their governors set at 75.8 trying to pass trucks with their governors set at 75.2 to get up to 110 very much. Very little room left for running flat out unless it is late at night/early morning.

Very little room left for running flat out unless it is late at night/early morning. I do some part time long distance driving for a local Chevy dealership. I would love to see the trucks governed at 75. I would venture to guess more are set at 65 than 75. Those that can only do 65 on the straightaways and flats can only do 50 going up small grades. Big grades and they are down to 40. What sucks is when 2 of them are side by side going up hill. kwg
