[QUOTE="Big Sky, post: 1237626, member: 3460"] We liked the old "reasonable and prudent" days before "55: It's not just a good idea, it's the law" of the Jimmy Carter reign. People had more common sense back then: drivers, troopers, judges. We practiced "personal responsibility," a quaint notion. 90-95 in a well equipped vehicle with an unimpaired driver indeed was/is "reasonable and prudent" on the four-lane out in the middle of Custer Country. Drivers knew the "definition" and troopers and judges knew it, too. No, 125 was NOT reasonable and prudent! After "55" we reverted to "reasonable and prudent" but the press played it up as "no speed limit." Sure and every out-of-state knuckle dragger with a hot Camaro was trying to cross the state at 120 mph. Something had to be done. What we have we can live with and have now for about two decades. And, Spud, I agree, re: the passenger having it tougher. But once she commits, she believes in no whining! I think she was awed by the scenery and some new roads she had not seen before, Ft. Belknap to Roundup for example along the Little Rockies. Just splendid! We were through four reservations. The First Peoples still have a reverence for good horseflesh and those lush pastures filled with good horses was surreal. [/QUOTE]
