Re: Ooops!
Kenneth, I actually found 3 different speed limits listed for TX, 55, 60, and 65mph, but none that said 70mph. Oh well. <br /><br />I have also found that the training manuals are not kept up to date with the current laws, and certainly there are many many things posted on the internet that are not kept up to date.<br /><br />I tend to put a little more faith in info that contains a copyright or publishing date, or a date when it was last updated. But most websites don't do that either, and nothing on the internet is guarranteed.

<br /><br />It would be interesting to know if this TX law has been changed or recinded:<br />
D) 60 MPH during the daytime on highways that are outside of an urban district for trucks (e.g., truck tractor, trailer or semitrailer) and for vehicles towing either a trailer, semitrailer, another motor vehicle or towable recreational vehicle. Tran. Code §545.352(b)(5)(C)<br /><br />
Sounds like the "and for vehicles towing a trailer," line, would cover a car pulling a boat.<br /><br />So I guess the lesson learned here is, call the local or state authorities and get the current info, as nothing on the internet can be taken as 100% truth.
