Once
upon a time Tennessee had the reputation of being the 'wide open' state.
Times change. It used to be that many drivers entering Tennessee from
Virginia or North Carolina would 'open her up', or 'peddle to the
metal'. As long as you appeared to be driving safely some excesses were
ignored. No longer. Speed limits in Tennessee are enforced 'rigidly': no
5 miles over allowed.

Then
there is Memphis and Nashville...oh yeah! Have we received e-mails!
People seem to habitually exceed the speed limits through these cities.
The police say they 'can't catch them all..." but those they do
catch face very expensive fines. One of those fines could pay for all
your gas from coast to coast! So don't spoil your trip; watch out in
Tennessee! |
