Also, Montana was getting tired of its reputation as a haven for out-of-state speed-demons. These guys would argue that "I thought Montana had no speed limit" when they were pulled over, and the cops would have to explain what "reasonable and prudent" meant. But yes -- it will be a drag to get out east of Bozeman on I-90 and have to set the cruise control at something less than 90 mph.
