Glad you skated, Laura! Hard to go slow sometimes, ain't it?

Good job Laura. I don't think I have ever talked my way out of a ticket. Had to buy my way out each time!

I have the same problem.80 on the Freeway seems to be my Magic number while all the other Toyotas, and Gremlins, Metropolitans, Nash Ramblers, T Model Fords, Packards and Studebakers are passing me at 90MPH. Hard to figure what the hurry is after all I aint going nowhere where i need to be in a hurry. But these other folks? Hmmmmm Difficult to say. I hope the police catch them before they get me.

NO such luck over here. If your caught speeding your done.
![]() The trick is not to get caught which ain't easy with all the bloody speed cameras then the white van cameras hopefully after today though the Gatso Camera's could be a thing of the past. ![]() ![]() |

Where was this speed trap?
Last week, I was on my way to rehearsal as usual on a weds evening, around 6:30pm south on 270. Surprisingly few cars and it was against traffic, so I merge up onto the express lanes, putting along at oh, 65mph (X3 doesn't have torque to zip up quickly) in the right lane. I pass a known speed trap and do spot an unmarked crown vic on the left shoulder, also facing southbound. I didn't really panic for some reason, maybe cuz I always thought they only shot radar guns forward before the vehicle passes them, not AFTER the vehicle passes. A couple seconds after I pass the cop, the lights come on and the cruiser starts coming after me. My heart freaking stopped and like, fell thru the floor cuz I thought he was coming after me and I'm just 2 months shy of getting a full license (I guess 65mph isnt 55.....). I slow down a bit but keep going. Eventually he nabs the only other car around, a Chevy Aveo which was actually slightly behind me in the middle lane. Whether that cop was coming for me, I'll never know. But that was a shocker and kind of ruined the evening. ![]() On a side note, anyone know how they use those radar guns? I have a front nose mask and lack a front plate, so they can't really get a reading off the front. Do they aim at the side mirrors? Can they aim at your back after you've passed? |
