I know that on Cajon the 4 wheelers really put their foot into it.
Yeah-drivers in Northern Ca and So Cal are totally Different. When I used to run CA. Running North, or South, I always took 99. Less hassle than 5.

A lot less pot holes caused by them dam truckers too. 8) :lol:

I run the 5 two to three times a week. You can do 62-63 mph. Done it for the past 5 years. Never even given a second look by CHP.

I don't think he was asking about a legal speed, so answer the question or leave it alone. Sounds like the guys on the radio who want to look like the perfect person... This forum thread is to help new drivers so why act like the rest of the smart A@#% on the radio. Just my 2 cents...lol

I'm a newbie and just came back to NH from NC picking up my new trailer. I pretty much drove at night 5mph above the speed limit. I was being blown off big time by everyone and there brother. I don't have a CB yet so I can imagine what was being said.

Stay in the right lane and keep it under 60 and you'll be fine. In the 6 months that I've been driving from Sacramento to Reno I've been passed by CHP while cruising at 60 in the right lane at least a dozen times.

Another spot in in NorCal to slow down is the downgrade between Yuba Gap (MM161) and Emigrant Gap on I80. About 2/3 of the way down the grade there is a turn in the road, they love to sit there and write folks who pick up speed.

I did 60-65 mph all the time in California, sometimes even 68. I ran with a CR England driver doing 68 across I-10 once and we even came across a CHP officer parked on the side of the road and he paid us no mind. Came across one sitting in the dark on 99 between Bakersfield and Sacramento and he paid me no mind either. I guess chippies in the southern part of the state have better things to do than enforce the CAL-TRANS split speed limit.

I found the situation was much the same in Illinois. Even overheard a conversation between 2 Illinois SP officers and truck drivers at a restaurant. The SP officers pretty much confirmed what I had always heard, stay to the right and don't exceed 65 mph and they'll leave you alone.

Ohio and Texas were always different stories, of course. I remember the first time I got into my 68 mph T2000 was the same week that Texas was removing all the 60/55 mph truck speed limits. Damn that was a good day. 8)

Absolutely right. Right there on westbound I-80 at Laing Rd is CHP's favorite spot on the whole mountain. They catch speeders going down the hill, and pull them over in the vista point where they are safe from passing traffic.

I've always thought that California speed enforcement and Illinois speed enforcement was much the same.
