Passing on the double yellow is legal in some states, like VT.

I like the west Texas state of mind too. Is there any other states with 80mph roads any more?
Brady said:Montana is a great state to ride in. Last time I was there I was doing 85+ between Billings and Butte and I had a state motor cop pass me and wave. It was at that moment I knew that Montana was something special.

Thinking now about seasoned curly fries.
Sometimes the term Basic Rule is in caps denoting a proper noun and other times it is not. It appears they did something in 96 "beyond the Basic Rule", which I assume means they posted a daytime speed limit that had an actual number, but then in 99 they changed that number either up or down to be 75 mph. Someone needs to clean up the Wiki's language on this one so that it is clearer, methinks.Montana and Nevada were the last remaining U.S. states relying exclusively on the basic rule, without a specific, numeric rural speed limit prior to the National Maximum Speed Law of 1974 {I think this is referring to the "safe and reasonable" deal}. After repeal of Federal speed mandates in 1996, Montana was the only state to revert to rural daytime speed limit, beyond the Basic Rule {I'm not following this "beyond the Basic Rule"comment too well, can anyone clarify?}. After the Montana Supreme Court decided that the Basic Rule was too vague and therefore violated the due process requirement of the Montana Constitution., Montana's legislature imposed a 75 mph (121 km/h) limit on rural freeways in 1999, although the same wording in the basic rule remains.

I seem to recall the "basic rule" during daylight hours anything under 100 (in rural areas) is not going to get you "noticed" by the MSP, AND the tickets are somewhere in the neighborhood of $15.00 if they do "notice" you, if you get caught being "stupid" driving to fast through a City or Town (even on the freeway) your in trouble and it WILL cost you. I could be mistaken though, I'm not a Lawyer.
I do remember the feds threatening to pull HWY funding under Clinton, which caused Montana to post limits and "enforce" them. But the fine for getting a ticket was really cheap, and then only if you woke the trooper from a nap blowing by him in your Load arse car.
