You get those moments when you're traveling on the interstate and all of a sudden the road opens up ahead of you, no traffic behind for a few hundred feet, no traffic ahead for a mile or even two. Such perfect opportunities to open it up a bit and let your car stretch its legs. On my last interstate trip I had one of these windows at night on a particularly desolate stretch and I had my slow POS up to 120 with plenty of room to safely shut down and get back to reasonable speed before running up on traffic.

Just enforce the reckless driving laws already on the books, that's always been my opinion. If somebody's doing 80 in a 30 in traffic, weaving in and out of cars, then yeah, throw the book at them. I just don't agree that speed in and of itself is dangerous. I'm many times safer driving 120 in a 70 on an empty road in the middle of the night than I am driving 40mph in a 55 through rush hour traffic on I-4.
