Imagin what he is doing.

When most of their runs and queries are sent by computer and not radio anymore they really don't have much of a choice. Plus the areas where radio usage of no good due to reception/transmission problems.

I am sure you go by the speed limit 100% of the time and never go above.

I usually go 5-7 mph over the limit, and have yet to be pulled over. Granted, I'm sure luck has played a bit of a role, as is the fact that I drive a run of the mill economy car.

Re: O.T. Speeding in Illinois
 

I only go 5 over, though a few weeks ago I was in a convoy heading to New Orleans on a mission trip. The truck I was in (pulling a trailer) was trying to get the driver in fronts attention we needed to stop for some reason. Instead of cell phone, flashed the lights. Driver in front thought we wanted to race and floored it. We tried to get in front, we entered a work zone and the truck had gotten up to 83......and wouldn't you know it, the bright blue lights came on. He was nice and didn't enforce a few things and gave the driver a normal ticket. Amazingly, Illinois speeding tickets are cheaper then New Orleans tickets (once again, I wasn't driving, but in another one of the vehicles and they got us right were it went from 70 to 60 and we were being passed by everyone).

I about $#it when I first saw one of those Mustangs two years ago.:18:

Been up 41 to Terre Haute once. I don't want drive it again. It just seems so easy to get a ticket there and it took a while to drive. I've never been pulled over outside of Missouri and want to keep it that way.

Re: O.T. Speeding in Illinois
 

I never said I have never been over the speed limit tho I try to really watch myself. But I don't cry about the state {police} enforcing the law.

"Don't use your phone in work zones either, they're trying to crack down on that. Some work zones have cameras to catch people on their phones even when cops aren't there."

Good.
If I about get rear ended by one more person too busy texting, or talking, to drive, I'm gonna get my ball bat out.

Re: O.T. Speeding in Illinois
 

If you really want to get ***** for getting a ticket,come to California where they can add up to 700 percent to the ticket fine.Got a ticket earlier this year that the fine was 120.00 for the infraction,but by the time they added all their b.s to it the final cost was 455.00. All the states need money so they are going to rip off anyone they can!
