Yes, actually there are. Particularly in the eastern half of the state. And the troopers use them to full advantage. Once you're west of Cleveland it gets much flatter.

It's also not like the shithole that is Virginia, where 80MPH becomes a reckless driving charge. Ohio just wants you to pay the ticket so they can keep the racket going. |

I usually drive 5 over and never bothered to slow down. I'm pretty sure they don't pull anyone over until people were going at least 10 over. Partly since that was pretty easy pickings -- the one thing I noticed with Ohio drivers is that there were 2 groups: 1) people that drive 5-10 UNDER the limit regardless of where they are (freeway, neighborhood roads, city streets, etc) 2) people that drive 10-20 over on the freeway, but 5-10 under everywhere else. Since there was nobody that would actually drive the speed limit on city streets and neighborhood roads, lets just say it was frustrating with the traffic they cause!

I've got a dyno session scheduled a few weeks from now down in Virginia Beach, this thread is a good reminder to take no chances in Virginia. Enforcement in the VA Beach / Hampton is crazy.

Actually, that's not insignificant and makes passing someone less of a nail-biting experience.
