Has your state been getting more vigorous with speed limit laws?

excerpt: At a trio of stops across the state, officials announced that about 930 miles of roads that had a speed limit of 55 miles per hour will be raised to 60 mph. Along with that will come a larger enforcement presence with no tolerance for even low-level speeders, according to State Patrol Lt. Mark Peterson.

"Our guys are being told to stop all violations," he said. "There's no waiting for the 'Big Flyer'."

If drivers go even 2 mph over the limit, Peterson warned, "You're running a risk."

article4 has more.

So, I will do only the speed limit - like I typically try to do despite harassment from shitheads out there who think they're better than everyone else. So go ahead and flash me and go around me. The cops are out for money and they can have yours all they want.

Besides, more mph means more gas used. Pity the cops and gov't won't make a mention of that tiny detail...
