The state of North Dakota is one of the latest in the US to join the 80-mile-per-hour club. The maximum speed limit on its section of Interstate 94 will go up from 75 to 80 mph on August 1, following the passage of House Bill 1298, which was signed into law yesterday. However, the state isn’t merely raising the limit and calling it a day. HB 1298 also specifies higher fines and penalties for speeders statewide, whether they’re on the faster portion of road or not, so don’t gas up your Bugatti Tourbillon and head for North Dakota just yet.
