The Interstate speed limit out here is 75 mph and I usually set the cruise control for 80 or 82. Of course, it's lower on other roads, and I've driven on the River Road in Grand Teton National Park where you, well, let's just say that it's a great drive but unless you have fairly high clearance, four wheel drive (and that's mandatory!), and know how to drive in mud, sand, and walnut-sized gravel up to your hubcaps you shouldn't even think about trying it.

I had some training years back from a pursuit driver for the Ohio State Patrol, even learned on one of the OSP's driving tracks. I also learned off-road driving in the Army ("Keep the *$#!!@!! thing moving, you @#*$%!!"!! Don't stop, don't stop!"), so I'm actually pretty comfortable driving.

I also have my outside mirrors set in that new way that lessens your blind spot. Here's how. It's takes a little bit to get used to it, but it's really excellent. Try it.
