Dunno about now, but ND used to be notorious as one big speed trap. This is how it was when I lived in MT (tho I was hatched in ND -- Devils Lake!!)
Since the speed limit has usually been higher in Montana -- ND cops sit just inside the border and write tickets all day long as folks come whizzing in from MT.
Cops around Valley City would tailgate you at night with their brights on, then when you sped up to get away from the lights blinding you in your rearview mirror, wham! Instant Ticket. (I prefer the "slam on the brakes" method of getting rid of such pests.
I never got nailed myself, but I knew folks who did, including my mom
And as to how the states differ... western part of both states is very scenic, but eastern ND seems to have more variety -- more trees, more small rivers, more small lakes, more varied crops, and up toward the Canadian border, the Turtle Mountains (okay, so they're barely hills by western standards
but still very pretty). Whereas what I've seen of eastern SD was flat as a board -- nice farmland, but fewer features breaking up that landscape.
As to the west -- SD's badlands are more dramatic, but I always thought ND's badlands were prettier and more interesting.
Maybe I'm just biased.
