Montana has effectively had no limit even while the NMSL was in effect.
When you get stopped in MT you get a ticket for wasting fuel or
something.  There's not really a whole lot to run into if you crash on
the Interstates in MT, so who cares if some dumbshit crashes and kills
himself because he exceeded the limits of his skill and his vehicle?  I
won't lose any sleep over it-that's one less moron on the road to cut
me off.
