re:  Montana's reinstatement of speed limits ...


Not a moment too soon I'd say.  Unlimited speed may mean
little to Vanagon drivers either way, but I'd guess problems
will not be solved by the new limit as it appears Montana
has some serious institutional problems.  Went there last
summer for the BMW motorcycle rally and thought I was in a
3rd-world country--at least this is how it appeared in
comparison to having driven Germany's autobahns.  Mobile
home transporter convoys at 85mph.  Highway workers
measuring the width of the interstate with a tape measure in
the middle of 100 mph traffic--no warning signs.  Lane
closures effected with no more than 100 yards warning.  No
visible presence of law enforcement.  Glad I wasn't out
there at night or on a Friday afternoon.
