I've been caught (only once, thankfully) in an ice storm on I25 north of Denver with all lanes doing a suicidal 80+MPH - never been more frightened on a road in my life - but generally 85 wouldn't be considered all that fast here, although average motorway speeds are dropping because there are so many cameras now. As I said though, neither country/state is especially fast compared to the Autobahn. -- SimonM ----- TubeWiz.com ----- Video making/uploading that's easy to use & fun to share Try it today!
