Today I traveled from PA to NC in a car on routes I used to frequent in years past. I saw a huge difference in the speed of the the vehicles, including mine. Earlier this year I made the trip in reverse in my MH and while some traffic was slower there was still a lot of the 80+ mph driving. I saw none of that today. Rarely did I see a big truck pass and most of the 4-wheeler traffic was not more than 5 over the limit.
What I did hear on the CB in was now the cops will stop you if only 1 over. I heard truckers saying "make sure you don't do 66" in the 65 zone. My theory is since people slowed down when gas prices were high a lot of revenue is being lost from speeding tickets. Now to make that up the police departments are not being so lenient on mph over the posted limit.
