Here I am right next to Montana and I don't know the answer to this question. Does anyone know if Montana ever instated a daytime speed limit? Last time I drove there, speed limits nationwide were 55 but Montana had no daytime speed limit and therefore got no federal funding for their highways. [I really like when states tell the feds that they don't get to decide, necessarily, how every state is run] As long as you were not being reckless, in the cop's view, the fine was $5 per day and I have no idea what they did with points. You could pay your fine, at the time of the ticket and that citation was (I heard) good for that day. Next time you were pulled over, you showed the officer your previous fine and there was no fine for the new speeding ticket. I have no idea if the last part was true.
The last thing I heard, in the paper, was that the officers, themselves, were lobbying for a daytime speed limit. Never heard what came of that. IMHO, when police officers ask for something, it is good to listen to them b/c they really are right there all the time and see what is really happening.
I wouldn't want to ever be a cop. You are there for every awful moment in everyone's lives. I couldn't handle that. So I am forever trying to make their lives a little easier.
