BTW, something to think about: Here in AZ, if you are speeding faster than 85, it is CRIMINAL SPEEDING, that means you can go RIGHT to jail (maybe not always likely, but big penalties are and excessive speed can easily end you up there), on the other hand, if it's below that, it's simple "speed faster than prudent given conditions", which isn't exactly a "free-for-all" and you can still get a ticket, but what you don't get is "20mph over, blah blah". There are still laws about residential areas and such, but on highways, it pays to know this one. Don't be going faster than 85 unless you can deal with the consequences, because they are going to be a lot worse here.
