Interesting \'spirited\' driving observation.....

During times without traffic (to be read as speeding safely) out here I have noticed that throughout So. Cal. the yellow suggested speed signs (like on ramps and off ramps have) seem to be a coded message for Vipers. The first # is the gear selection and the second is for either on or off the gas. i.e. - an on-ramp out here that has a fairly tight turn shows 35 mph on the yellow sign. I noticed that I am safe and secure feeling in 3rd gear lightly on the gas on that ramp. Tried another, 40 said the yellow sign, it was a nice 'spirited' pace through the turn in 4th off the gas. So far I have yet to find one, that when the time is right and there is no traffic, that this Viper speed code does not work.

I know...... get a job.

JT - I'd have to say that the "Viper Code" also works in IL.

I usually just double it. My mind doesn't work well with complicated formulas.

I just add 30 mph.

I like to think that the speed recommendation doubled is a minimum. The goal is to see if you can get close to 3 times.
