I thought that arresting people driving 145+ was one of the things that
state troppers were supposed to do. There are very few times during the
day when that stretch of I-5 can be driven at those speeds. At night the
range of normal headlights is less than the stopping distance at speeds
greater than 80 MPH. Driving at 90 MPH more than the normal flow of traffic
is playing Russian Roulette with all those nice folks who drive 55 in the
left lanes.
