Here in Pennsylvania they only allow double trailers.

Oregon allows triples on I-5 and I-84:

In NV on the two lanes (US 95 for example) the speed limit is 70 (for every kind of rig) and they apparently allow triples as I saw some when I was down there in Oct. At 70 they didn't seem to wander as much as they do at 55.
Coming from OR where the speed limit is almost universally 55, NV is a pretty cool place to ride.

Ha, one of the few out of state tickets I got nailed with was in Nevada. On a rented bike from Lost Wages too boot. Boulder City, 7 mph over the limit, asshat cop. Quickly figured out, it was a trap.
In Pennsylvania, your usually safe under 72 mph,with good road conditions on the blue tarmac.
“The problem is, many drivers either don’t know or don’t care about traffic laws, police are more concerned about passing out petty speeding tickets than chasing down truly reckless drivers (BIG HINT: speed does NOT equal recklessness. Being a stupid driver and not even knowing what the different lanes are for is far more reckless.)”

Lane Discipline which is far more important, and would save many more lives on our highways than cracking down on so called speeders.

I-5 in OR is 65 most of the way (except when passing through larger urban areas like Portland.)

Yes, I-5 & I-84 are 65 most of the way, which is why I said, "almost universally".
Coming back from AZ in NV I was going my usual indicated 10 over (80 in a 70 in this case) when outa nowhere a county cop showed up right on my ass. I was on a reservation at the time and was not sure at first if it was a rez cop or not, sometimes they'll hassle folks. Turns out it was not and as soon as it was safe to do so this guy passed me and was gone. I wicked it up but never saw him again, he was probably going 100 or more w/o any lights, etc.
You don't see that kind of behavior in an LEO in OR. It restores ones faith in humanity. :lol:
