In the United States, every state has the right to make the law that would stipulate the speed limits across its territory. In many cases, the local civic authorities such as municipalities or counties or other subdivisions can also set the speed limit. Speed limits don’t just vary across the country but they can vary every few miles depending on where you are driving, the type of road and the kind of habitation in the area. The speed limit range bottoms out at 35 mph and peaks at 85 mph. Usually, the increment or decrement of speed limit is by 5 mph. This range is not a given nationwide as there are plenty of exceptions, both with the least and highest speed limit. Considering the speed limits across the country, you would find the highest range of 75 mph to 85 mph along the west coast and national or interstate highways connecting the western states.

European brands dominate the global automobile market. While there is a Toyota, Honda and Hyundai with a global presence, American brands like Chevrolet and Nissan are making their way into various international markets, yet it is the likes of Volkswagen, BMW, Mercedes Benz, Renault, and Volvo among a few others that have truly been giants of a brand. We aren’t mentioning Ferrari, Maserati and Lamborghini because of their limited or niche target audience. When we talk about the top three selling European cars right now, it is necessary to segregate the markets. The stats are different for the UK, they change when you check out rest of Europe and will be different in every specific member country of the EU.

Originally designed to help authorities get their hands on those who disobey the speed limits, speed traps are now an unreasonable nuisance that many motorists would much rather do without. What is a Speed Trap? There are certain speed limits that need to be observed depending on the location you’re cruising through. Some roads for example will allow higher speeds than others. This is primarily because of safety concerns and precautions that the locality have deemed important. But in recent years, speed traps have become a mainstay in these areas. That is, certain traffic and law enforcement personnel will deliberately set an unreasonably low speed limit that’s near impossible to observe. Anyone who goes beyond it will be caught and penalized – unless of course they’re willing to pay a “fee.” As expected ... read more
