Yep, ibn GA, they be crazy about them school zones. Even going 5 mph over can get you an expensive ticket. I guess they figure you are putting childrens lives at risk and thus you should be sharged for that too or something. Maybe the proceeds go to the education budget.

I learned form others. Never speed though a Georgia school zone unless you have $1000 to give away.

What I've learned: if you can't see every part of the road ahead, don't speed.
Also watch out for bridges, curves, hills, tunnels, large amounts of trees...

In edition to that when on the interstate always watch who is joining the "party" at the exits.

when on the interstate, keep an eye on the truckers. they know where the cops are. if a trucker slows down, then you can bet there is a cop around somewhere.

also, do not slam on the brakes or brake at all if you can. it lowers the front end and they know you are speeding. i have coasted by the state troopers doing 90 in a 65 and not gotten pulled over.

So true. I always watch the trucks. When they slow down, best believe I'm slowing down. But you always have that one novice fly by and get pulled over.


a car that is doing a slight nosedive on the highway attracts attention and is asking for it. It tells the trooper that you know you was speeding and only slowing down because someone's watching. Plus a slowed down car is easier to catch.

I was on 29 north going to I-70 when I noticed cars on the side of the road, they looked abandoned. Then I see this wild man run out from no where onto the shoulder and wave me down. Apparently the cop cars were hidden and the abandoned cars were a lot of people getting pulled over. 74 in a 55 [8D]

don't speed :P

Follow the speed limit. Obey the government. We are watching you. We own you.



Hopefully you get the point.
