Au contraire, my brudder lived in MT for some years (still has a 
house in Butte which he couldn't sell after the mine closed - so he 
rents it, and has paid for it...) and I surely admire their approach 
to speed limits.  Howsomever, I have heard that the state gendarmerie 
have taken to gently dissuading those who are exercising their autos 
above the century mark from continuing to do so - with warnings to 
hold it down to around 80.  Based on past performance, though, I'd say 
a driver whose car was firmly under control and had a positive 
attitude had a pretty good chance of getting a warning on a first 
"business encounter" with such a minion of "la ley".

I must be in a weird mood.  Haven't muddled French, Spanish and 
middle-murrican dialect in a single post for some time....!
