This guy had plenty to say. He was quite verbose on the subject of highway speed limits, particularly the way the speed limit is 75 mph in Texas and then immediately drops to 55 at the New Mexico state line, even though the roads are otherwise exactly the same. Anyone out here who’s ever driven to New Mexico shares his pain. And, yes, random dude on a bike, it DOES feel like a speed trap.
