Around here, you would be passing most everything. There's more cops here per
mile than there were on Ohio interestates during the 55 mph nonsense. Really.
Everybody knows it. They drive really slow. I'm the fast one at 7 over.
Every now and then there's someone faster - they're usually from out of state
and don't know any better.

Download the entire file. I'll even send it to you directly if you use
one of the instant messenger programs out there.

I've done it in VA. I might consider recording a 45 minute drive I
occasionally make on a US route in both VA and WV. I just need to
figure out how to mount the camera and how to speed up playback of a 5
fps file.

So really slow means 75-80 mph ?

Going across ohio keeping the van at 70-75mph was about the speed of
traffic. That's 5-30 over in IL. The speed limit was about 70.

I haven't been there in a while, but I thought OH had 65 mph limits.
