Stay safe

Be warned about driving the speed limit usually each town or city will have cops at the beginning of the town limits and right near the end trying to catch speeders etc., especially out of towners who are probably used to less stringent enforcement, they will ticket you as a way to gain municipal funds as in some towns there isn't a lot of ways for them to raise money be warned
