I recently took the turnpike from Pittsburgh to Lancaster and there were a couple stretches where nearly everyone was going 85-100.

I’m a bit of a speeder myself, but once you tick over 90 it’s a different level.

Depends on what kind of vehicle you are in . We use to have a rav4 and it didn’t feel very stable above 85. I’ve allegedly had all our current vehicles over 110 and they are super stable.

Oh I’m not worried about myself. I’ll gladly go fast. I get worried about people driving beyond their skills or cutting in and out around much slower moving cars.

…and the big bump in fines. PSP doesn’t bat an eye for 80 in a 70- even 85 doesn’t always get a response- but I think 90+ is close to a sure thing.

That’s just another day on the Northeast Extension, especially once you hit the 3-lane section.
