In Maine when I was a teenager, I would generally stay at the speed limit (55 MPH) on the Turnpike. When I started passing the same cars that had been blowing by me before, I knew I'd be seeing a state trooper soon. <BR/>These days, the same people that do 80 KPH in a 70 zone suddenly slow down to 30 when there's one of those radar things that even shows you your speed and sends you a ticket if you're over 50 KPH. I hold right at 50 through the radar and blow by people who have just passed me before the radar. <BR/>It seems like a lot of idiots in the world think they'll get extra credit if, when being monitored, they slow down to a good 10 MPH (or 20 KPH in places where the metric system is used) below the speed limit. I imagine a cop stopping one of these idiots and saying "well, you were over the limit here, but since you went a good deal slower than you had to in a place where you were told there was radar, I'll just apply your credit from that to the speeding here and let you off."Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16684714516449238724noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6943915079598040271.post-90347954378604423482009-01-09T20:19:00.000+00:002009-01-09T20:19:00.000+00:00Ha!Damn it feels good to be a gansta! :)I go thro...Ha!<BR/><BR/>Damn it feels good to be a gansta! :)<BR/><BR/>I go through the exact same thing on 295 South. Everybody slows way down as they oh-so-casually go by the trap. Stoopid.lacochranhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12122022168616822147noreply@blogger.com
