On other note this thread reminds me of Rt301 in Waldo Florida. Years back the local police force nailed people all the time because the limit would drop down to 25MPH in the town. As I recall they funded their entire department on the revenue from speeding tickets.

Cruise control at 70 on I-75? I applaud your civic-mindedness and adherence to the letter of the law. However, I do hope you are not one of those "left lane Louie's", in which case you are likely to be the CAUSE of an accident, even if you never get into one yourself.
