Go here http://www.mit.edu/~jfc/laws.html Anything thats reckless driving, IMO, is Excessive Speeding. 16 MPH over is not (unless you live in VA in which case it IS).

Back then, my dream was to drive in Montana or Nevada with the R&P speed limits ... meaning none, pre 73 embargo. .... Back when CARS were CARS and MEN were MEN
When we finally got to the high desert of Nevade out on I70 up to Reno years later .... BORING. No sensation of speed at all ... just driving mile after mile with nothing but tumbleweed and visions of the twilight Zone ahead. Not even a radio station. Today .... Woot .... XM radio everywhere!
