Everyone of them, to a T, agreed that they hate it when their route takes them through Ohio and that they avoid going into Ohio whenever possible. I know there is an enormous amount of "revenue generation" going on in the greater Cincinnati area (especially on I-71). Radio station WLW700 even encourages people to call in when they go through, or see, "revenue generation traps", they'll then inform the drivers where this activity is going on.
Cecil,

Could that Iron Skillet possibly be at New Paris instead of New Point, IN? There is one located at the Indiana/Ohio border on US40 near Richmond, IN.
I have heard that Ohio is one of the worst states to drive through because of the potential for receiving a ticket. I watch my P's and Q's very carefully when driving in the Buckeye state. So far it has worked.
