Ooh, something else my DH and I immediately noticed when we moved here to NC? The speed limits are fairly well suited to the roads. In other words, I speed, but only if I feel safe due to the nature of the road (and the congestion). In every other state I've lived in, the speed that felt comfortable to me was a solid 20 mph higher than most posted limits (no joke). In NC, it's MUCH closer (0 - 5mph) for most roads. Weird, huh?
Another oddity: Since I got my Mini, I've started driving faster (even more so when I lived in FL) and I've still not been pulled over (knock on wood). It's been 3 years now and I've had many 'close calls' where I've sped past a cop and should, by all rights, have been pulled over. I'm not 100% convinced that BMW didn't install cloaking devices in the Mini's.
