Personally, I love the new limits ... Though one thing really annoys the hell out of me ... I got a ticket. On 21, in Bryan, going from Austin to College Station. Speed limit is 70 during the day, 65 at night. It was night. I was pulled over and given a ticket for going 72. Not even a warning, but a ticket. I wonder how he was even able to tell that he clocked me and not that truck behind me ... he was on the side of the road, lights out, apparantly using a radar gun that points out the back window. A $80 ticket for 7 mph over the limit. *grrr*. And to fight it, I have to drive to Bryan, 2 hrs away ... In any event, it must have been a slow night. People go flying down that road at 80+ mph all the time, even back when the limit was 55 mph ... Oh well, I'm just ranting. Newsgroups trimmed ... -- Doug McLaren, dougmc@physics.utexas.edu Ah say, son, you're about as sharp as a bowlin' ball. "They told me I was gullible ... and I believed them!"
