1. Wyoming

According to the National Motorist Association, http://www.motorists.org, some states are way more speed-trap happy than others. Wyoming? Not so much “ it came in at number 50. But if you get caught wasted down in a mine, you are in so much trouble. http://www.dumblaws.com/law/1178"http

2. North Dakota

North Dakota has a speed limit of 75 mph and the maximum fine for a first-time violation is less than 50 bucks. Plus, North Dakota is home to the Casselton Can Pile, the 'world's largest tower of oil cans!' http://www.realnd.com/casseltoncanpileindex.htm

3. South Dakota

After leaving North Dakota, feel free to speed right through South Dakota (ranked 48th) on down to Nebraska (number 43.) There's nothing whatsoever to see there anyhow.
