80mph+? Instant reckless driving in Virginia, anywhere in the state.

The limit is up to 80 in some western states (Utah, Idaho, etc).

  • In Nevada and I believe other states before the 55 MPH speed limit was instituted, "reasonable and proper" was interpreted pretty broadly and might have exceeded 80 under good conditions.

  • 85 in parts of Texas Hill Country too.

    Those wide empty roads going 55 feels like 30mph.
