Don't say that. There is one stretch of that same highway that is rarely
ever patrolled, had good visibility if it was and I've topped 100 there
often. Top was 120 so far. I want to try for full speed that my car is
supposedly capable of (137), but I've not had that chance yet.

I do know of a few places they lay in wait so I avoid speeding there.
