I will say that I like how Indiana is 70 MPH, that is no where in Illinois, even downstate where there is nothing, it is 60MPH

i was irritated when i left illinois, entered missouri, and the interstate speed dropped to 65 mph from 70. hate when that happens...

i got pulled over the other day-64 in a 55. i was like, what is this guy pulling me over for? i'm only 9 over!! he gave me a warning. everyone says if i was a guy, i'd have gotten a ticket. i said you sexist, you..you're assuming it was a guy trooper!

I've known women that get pulled over because he was looking for a date

i've heard that one of the deputies here (the guy who hit my daughter last year-practically head on, his fault) will pull over high school girls so he can ask them out.
guy's a freak. any reno 911 fans out there--he's our version of 'dangle'. no joke. well..except he doesn't wear shorts.

I always find it funny when a cute girl talks about how many tickets she's got out of by crying or sweet talking the cop. What she doesn't realize is the only reason she's been pulled over so many times is cause she's a cute girl.

Never been pulled over in Ohio. Just always heard from the late 80's and beyond that the troopers are strict there. Always looked for that crazy so-called truck driver who pick up hookers and leave them for dead around that state.

I-64 through Illinois I know is 65mph. Usually go 80-85mph (heck there is nothing in Southern Illinois) until I get to about the 25 mile marker towards St. Louis, then I'll do what traffic is doing which is around 70-75. Usually there are some traps though from Mt Vernon, Il to the Indiana state line.

I've driven in lots of states and the last 6 miles on 65 heading south into lousiville is by far the worst. Sorry you got a ticket in my area scavs. If you get a ticket in indy i can probably help you out, but i can't help you with the hick cops down there. My mother in law was once pulled over for doing 40 in the same stretch and they gave her a ticket for driving to slow. They said she was going to cause an accident. Did i mention it was sleeting....Its absolutely asinine.

The speed limit being 70 really is nice and most places you can get away with cruising in the low to mid eighties.
