IL was famous for that for decades.   Also requiring an IL inspection on any truck operating inside their borders.   Johnny'd sit at the end of the bridge, and nap any truck entering the state.   No lack of brownie points for johnny.   A I recall, the fine was pretty hefty.   Like $50 when

Re: [MBZ] Look Out, Mitch!!

Mixing speeds is dangerous in my opinion. I remember reading or hearing that some majority of accidents occur when vehicles are in the bottom 20% or the top 20% of all the speeds driven. In other words try to keep an even flow, extremes are dangerous. Max Dillon Charleston SC Jan 14, 2020

Re: [MBZ] Look Out, Mitch!!

Its bonkers here, back in the early 2000s I'd see people pulled over all the time. Now I drive a similar amount and almost never see a car pulled over. Much of my commute is 4 lane highway at 55mph with most cars going 65 minimum and many at 80. I never thought I'd say this but we really need

Re: [MBZ] Look Out, Mitch!!

Does MI still have truck speed limits? When we were there (gosh is it almost 6 years ago already?) trucks were limited to 10 or 15mph slower than cars which made trucks rolling roadblocks that some people seemed to see as a challenge to dart around. Seemed like that was extra dangerous for no
