Hmm...well, radar detectors here, in PA, are practically useless. Local cops can't use radar, and I've yet to see a State trooper out on the road. Our highways use "speed enforced by plane" techniques...so they say. Anyway...

I believe that driving fast on housing strees is just stupid. C'mon...there's little kids that can be hurt.

Driving exceedingly fast (above, say, 60, depending on conditions) on actual, main roads (not highways, but no houses) is dumb, and can lead to accidents. Keep it reasonable.

However - and I've done a lot of research on this - on the highway high speeds are okay. Highways are built for speed. Therefore, there should be no limit on US highways - it'll give people the thrill that they want, without making them speed somewhere else that's more dangerous.
