What is Tennessee’s highest speed limit?

Does Tennessee have any highways without a speed limit? I got a new car recently and I want to max out the speed, but I don’t want to get a ticket.

Tennessee
has a maximum speed limit of 70 mph on all interstates and limited access roads. All other roads in Tennessee have a maximum speed limit of 65 mph.
Like most states, Tennessee gives out points for speeding based on how fast you were driving. If you’re caught going one to five mph over the speed limit, you’ll get one point. If you’re caught going 16 to 25 mph over the speed limit, however, you could get four points.
Since you got a new car, you probably got new
car insurance
too. To make sure you’re getting the best deal, use the
