In California, I raced with impunity along old 66, easily going 80 in 55 zones. In Texas I got yoinked for 73 in a 70 on US 380 in the middle of nowhere.

to add further to the hypocrisy of speed limits (and please make this a separate thread, or combine it with a thread that mentions speed limits)

Done. The speed limit tolerance stuff has been tacked on to this thread: https://www.aaroads.com/forum/index.php?topic=3399.0

Welcome to Virginia: Use Left Lane Whenever Possible.  :banghead:

"That sounded stupid, didn't it?"

correct.  also, Utah.  Between those two states, I have seen maybe four cops sitting in the median and running radar, in thousands of miles driven through them.

This "Welcome to Southampton: International Maritime City" sign got vandalised with "Home of the Titanic" written on it with black spray paint (and a hole was added to the ship).

Welcome to the borough of Slough: It isn't fit for humans now (stolen off Poet Laureate Sir John Betjeman in his poem "Come friendly bombs, fall on Slough").

How is that European driving? British driving perhaps (or Irish, Maltese, Cypriot, a vast swathe of Africa, South and South East Asia, Japan, Australia and Pacific Islands), but most of Europe drives 'French-style', like you Americans.

I live in Minnesota. I have driven to or through Iowa perhaps 20 times in my life.

I have received exactly the same number of speeding tickets in Iowa as in Minnesota.
