You've got to be kidding me. I can easily cruise at 100 MPH on the
interstates around here for extended periods of time without being
caught. The only thing that makes it dangerous is if you don't have
experience driving at that speed and all the other cars on the road who
are going below 70MPH. Now, I don't do this on a regular basis, but it
can be done. You just better know where the speed traps are and/or have
a good RADAR detector.
