I didn't see his plates but everything else matches. He blipped his lights at me, pulled up on my driver's side window, rolled down his window and said, "It's 45, young lady!"

I have a feeling I'm gonna get clobbered by this guy someday...

I regularly run that route and may or may not exceed the arbitrarily-posted, nonsensical posted revenue-generator every damn day. Last thing I'm looking for is some toolbag in a GT. Ugh. :(

Traffic is going 80+ on that section and the speed limit has just dropped to 65 from 75. He is a city of Buckeye LEO out there generating revenue

Meanwhile UT is raising highway speed limits wherever safely possible and observing no negative effects. There's now a good 20-mile-long 80mph stretch on I15 just south of the Idaho border. Marvelous.

Arizona weather and geography are amazing, but your freeways make me want to kill. Especially Phoenix. Somebody tell Phoenix the '80s are over and the Federal 55mph limit has been lifted.

A sight that makes me smile:

We're almost completely 75 now, brotha. 65 in populated areas, but 75 on freeways without major interchanges.

On a side note, I was driving our Frontier and trailer out across CA this weekend (PHX to LA) around 11 pm, and somewhere around Indio, CHP pulled up on my left quarter and hit the PA: "65 with a trailer - 65 with a trailer, please."

Looked down, I was rolling 90. :)

A downshift to 5th and a tip of my cap, and he kept rolling. <whew> :)
