2000 Grand Prix GTP- 2000 Trans Am WS6 M6
I'm jealous. 65 on the interstates here and 55 on the other highways...needless to say there are a lot of tickets handed out. Also, there are still people that drive under the speed limits here.

I'm ok with our speed limits here for the most part. 65-70 on highways and interstates, 75 on most turnpikes. OHP typically won't even look at you unless you're doing 15+ over, unless it's crackdown time (quota). And if you read the paper, they almost always give warning as to when.

Yeah, it's 55 in the Atlanta, Macon, other metro areas here, and 65 or 70 outside those areas. Not too bad. 85 seems high, even if many people already do it. I'd drive 85, no problem, but as with so many of us, *I* know how to drive, but I'm not sure about the others around me going that fast...

I wouldn't mind 85, but I agree it's a bit excessive....but I would drive it....

and, as far as that goes, I think accidents would increase due to a greater difference of vehicle speed.........just because the speed limit is 85, it doesn't mean everyone would drive that fast..........it's bad enough the way it is now when people are driving 50-ish on the interstate with a 70 mph speed limit.........add 15 mph to that, and the situation worsensLast edited by FasstChevys; 04-07-2011 at 07:41 AM.

I drove for 3 yrs on the autobahn in Germany and loved it. This would be a much welcome but don't see it happening because of various BS groups that would go after it. MADD/Auto Insurer/Envior wackos
Good Luck
Also they have 6 months drivers training that everyone must take prior to receiving a license. It also included basic first aid. Some of the rules were you could not stay in the left lane. It is for passing only. If caught you faced a stiff fine. And they (ppl) would call you in if you kept riding in the left lane.Last edited by SMWS6TA; 04-07-2011 at 07:46 AM.

Yeah there is a much different mentality on the Autobahn, mostly more mature about the driving. Some folks here would lack that maturity...
