You need a Jeep for our roads not a car.

Sorry, but there are plenty of places on this planet with high or no speed limits at all, including a couple right here on the mainland. Accidents on those roads are either very low or never happen. I can understand limits on city streets and such, but I-40 and other interstates should either have no limit or at the least 80.

I wouldn't be thanking the guy for giving me a warning, I would be angry for him wasting my time in the first place!

Just remember this arrogant, ignorant, uneducated attitude/statement when you get that knock at 3am saying your loved one was just killed by a reckless driver.

Speed kills, plain and simple.

I'll give you that. The roads here are terrible. Obama could spend all of his infrastructure stimulus money here in Oklahoma and the roads would probably still not be as nice as Arkansas or Missouri. Crossing into Arkansas is like going from a dirt road to a brand new highway.

None of that ever stopped me from doing 95 in a 65 all the way from Coalgate to Poteau coming home from roughnecking, though. Would've probably drove faster if my truck didn't shut down.

Actions such as this would make someone IMO have jerkish and selfish driving habits. Glad you didn't kill yourself or someone else. I moved to OK from TX because I wanted to LiVE slower, no hurt by those that drive like they're in Texas.

There you go.

Why is everyone in such a hurry?


I agree with Jay Leno. "I enjoy driving. It's not just about getting somewhere. "

Because at 5:30AM there isn't much to see, and driving a lonely old straight forgotten highway isn't much fun at any speed.

As for the first person who tried to limit speeds, you'll have to go WAAAAYYY back. I think it was President Rutherford B. Hayes who got a speeding ticket in D.C. because his horse carriage was driving too fast.

What? No beating. No drawdown. No civil rights violation. Just a courteous traffic stop with a warning and no expensive ticket.I guess the cop bashers will have to look elsewhere.

Bash bash!!!

The flashing lights give me a headache!

Wow some people, you get on here admitting to doing 15 over the limit and brag about getting just a warning, be glad I didn't pull you over because now I would be hunting you down and finding a reason to write you a ticket.

Enforcement of laws should be applied equitably, cops and wanna be cops should get the same ticket everyone else gets.

That being said I seem to be one of those guys who has good luck at traffic stops.

I'll shut up now before I go for a ride on the bike and wind up ticketed not just warned next time I am busted going plaid.
