If it’s anything like the Pa. Turnpike, going 70 could be dangerous - awfully hard to avoid the potholes.

Thanks Tolerance Sucks Rocks.
Eliminating the turnpike's split speed limit, under which trucks and private buses were restricted to 55 mph while other vehicles could go 65, in 2004 was effective at luring truckers to the toll road, "and I'm hoping we can get another 15 to 20 percent of them off" the side roads by going to 70, Mr. Kidston said Friday.

They’re a little slow on the uptake. I spent the entire time that I drove from California to northeastern Ohio on I-80 going 80 MPH.

There are plenty of police officers keeping an eye on the traffic. I saw one guy who was driving like a jerk and going at least 20 MPH faster than the rest of us.

Drove right by him while he was getting a ticket, too. Going 80.

My favorite is how the OK turnpike toll-takers look at the entrance time and remark, “you’ve made good time today”. ;’)

Big Brother is watching you, and first chance he gets, he’s going to make you pay extra.

PIgs are flying out my window!

Reading the headline, I thought that they would be lowering it in order to increase revenues.
