Heh, heh. You drive the limit? Speed limits on the expressways (never called freeways by the natives) and tollways are *only* recommendations. Except around holiday weekends, the roads are only lightly patrolled by state troopers. And their speeder-catching hideouts are well known to regular travelers. Haven't done 55 in twenty years. Zero tickets in twenty years, without using a radar detector. That should say something about speed enforcement around here. Cordially, Mark S. Reglewski
