Interstate of mind

Phenomena that occurs after exiting the interstate in which the driver continues to drive at high speeds (65+) through low speed zones (30-) such as neighborhoods and school crossings. Many speeding tickets are thought to be the result of this.

"Do you know how fast you were going through town?"

"75, I know....I'm still in the interstate of mind."
