The central valley is just a place you drive through as quickly as possible going between SF and LA on I-5. And that's ONLY if you're in a hurry. If you got some time, you'd take the 101 or PCH to avoid that bleak hellhole.
If i could, I would drive at least 100 mph on I-5 but fucking CHP has been cracking down hard on speeding on I-5.
Yeah, 100mph is really pushing it given how heavily the I-5 is patrolled by CHPs. I've hit 100+ on some segments just for the hell of it, but never for more than a few minutes. What's the max speed limit anyway? It's 70 right? I think cops on that route will tolerate up till about 85 on that stretch without pulling you over. Beyond that you're asking for a fat ticket in a revenue-bereft part of the state. Just not worth it to arrive in SF 30 minutes sooner when the cost of that speeding ticket would've bought you a RT flight. 85mph will still get you between L.A. and the bay in about 5.5hrs IIRC.
70 is the limit, but CHP typically tolerates 80 mph. beyond that, a fat ticket. but i wish it was higher. i hate driving though the central valley. nothing but flatness and farms for miles.
