Though I don't know if they just mail you stuff or radio to a ground unit for the ticket?

Here in florida they're allowed to pace. Thats how the Highway Patrol Camaro gotme coming home one day. No mile markers or anything, he just took it off his speedo. Sucked for me.

Pisses me off to no end. And don’t get me started on people that think left on green has the right of way over right on green...

Rant over, we now return you to you regularly scheduled program.

I try my hardest not to give up my right of way. if that means I come within inches of hitting someone so be it, its my right of way so any accident is their fault. Plus my car will give all the damage and take very little if any damage.

It sucked when they changed the law about the patrol cars having their lights on when parked looking for offenders. Sucks now that they can hide int eh trees or whereever at night and not have any lights on or anything so yo never know they are there. But I usually don't speed probably anymore than 10 over unless I know its a good place to do it (not many cars and no place for the cops to hide). The best highway around here to actually speed on is 24 because the only place for a cop to sit on most of it is at the exits, otherwise its all barrier on the left and guardrail on the right.

The Bush (190) is nothing but a speed trap that we pay to drive on anymore. On any given day from Garland to the toll way you will encounter no less then 3 state troopers mostly by the coit toll booths. Lately on Sunday mornings I see a lot of Plano officers marking the bridge just north of 190 just at the on ramp of 75 and you will see them standing up near the Hooters using Radar and calling ahead to others waiting down by restaurant row.
