You know, that's the exact opposite of what my MSF Instructor told my class. His reasoning is that, on an interstate, you have far more escape routes (wide shoulders on the side of the road) than you do on highways/county roads.

However, I will concede that the interstate is more dangerous on the GZ250 simply because you're running WOT the whole time and have no more throttle for emergency escapes.
