Daniel Meyer:
Finally! 80mph speed limits (Texas) in the boondocks!

michman:
So now, anyone that was doing 80mph before, should be doing 90-100mph with the 80mph limit.  Makes sense :-\

I looked on the Texas map, where exactly is the boondocks?

West...as in several hundred miles of nothing.

There ought to be no limit at all out there.

It's gonna be hard on some of those little towns out there...they're gonna lose their main revenue source.

Pass on to all your friends....
No matter what ANYONE tells you, it is a violation of FEDERAL LAW to pay Police Officers with revenues generated by issuing traffic violations.  That U.S. Supreme Court decision came out of a lawsuit against a small town in Alabama operating a speed trap in order to generate enough revenue to add another officer.  If you get caught in a tight with some small town jurisdiction, ask me and I'll research it and get you the case law...I was a police officer in the State of Alabama for almost 10 years.
