And I'm sure there is nobody that did this when it was illegal, and can still
post to the net.....   This is your basic autobahn driving, if you drive at
those speeds (present author always included) it makes you more aware of your
equipment and driving reaction time.....   This isn't really anything new, I
did the "thanksgiving" Sunday ride from Detroit to Chicago, and was "midpack"
at an average of 83 including two stops, no CB, RD or other electronic
prophlactic necessary.......  In fact if you read most of the Police Radar
manuals (I have MI one) there is a "outstanding in the field" clause (my bro
beat a CA ticket with this arguement) that states that basically if everyone
is doing 90, you can't give one guy the ticket, unless he is OITF, like a
piece of junk or wobbly tire passing on the shoulder (or first in line)
etc.....   I have run in one of these 6 mile long packs from Vegas to LA once
at 90+++ for hours, passing cops along the way.....    I think out west the
speed limits are kinda a joke anyway, always have been, to the drivers and
the cops.......  Common' a 5 dollar fine in MT for 90 in 65, I laughed.....
