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.

Similar laws in VA. If you are pulled for doing 20+ over you can be arrested on the spot. 11+ over the limit is a reckless ticket.
