Too many. Got one coming back from SEMA / OUSCI in New Mexico. I was out on the highway in the middle of the dessert. In Texas that means the speed limit is 70 / 75 / 80 and most of the traffic is moving faster than the posted. I didn't see a sign so to be careful I set the cruise on 73. I very polite female officer pulled me over to tell me the speed limit is 65 and strictly enforced. I asked why so low in the middle of no place. She said too many dead bodies and I shouldn't be going so fast. I mentioned that in Texas the posted would be at least 70 and up to 80 with most cars going faster than the posted. She said I am going to cite you, but it is only a $75 fine. I asked if I could pay double so I could speed on through the rest of the state. She was not amused.
