Speed limits are ridiculously low here on the west coast of the US, police traps are common, and fines are high. Even 75 mph can get you a $200 fine easily, even on an interstate freeway. Besides, people have a nasty habit of never moving over to the right - as a matter of fact, rightmost lane is frequently the fastest lane - and that is where the 65mph figures come from :-). I have taken the car up there in >100mph range for sure, but then I watch my Valentine One radar detector carefully. It kept me out of trouble for the last few years, and let me have fun when I want to. -Dima
