In new state can you leally drive over the speed limit?

There is no state in which you can legally drive over the legal speed limit. Yup, there is no state where it is legal to do illegal things. However, there are some states that have higher speed limits than others. I believe that Pennsylvania still has a 55 mph speed limit, where Florida has some stretches of highway where 75 mph is the legal limit. At one time, Montana had (and may still have -- you may want to check) a stretch of highway that has no legally set speed limit. However, there is a difference between driving over the limit and having no limit. So in answer to your question: There is no state that has a law that says you can legally break the law.
