How did the weather impact your threshold?

 

If it was raining, he didn't write any tickets at all. :D

I only gamble when I am 95 percent certain I will come out ahead. In other words, don't ever expect to find me in the casino. Or to answer another way, no I don't gamble

 

You gamble...

My answer is too fast. Unfortunatley it has caused me to have more than my fair share of tickets over the years. I was traveling to El Paso a few years back and came across a sign similar to this the one in the photo. It was a wonderful driving experience.

It made me get my tail back in the city to handle all the accident calls.

 

Or to answer your question, speed enforcement in weather in a heavy traffic environment is not a good idea. You get out of the way.

I've been known to make a few bets. :lol2:

 

 

Haven't had a ticket since I was 16. Knock on wood...

 

 

Safe to assume you would have busted people going 8-9 over in a 70 MPH zone?

 

Truthfully... yes.

 

Well... I am anyway.

 

We have one in denial but exactly what I figured. Thanks guys.

ALWAYS cruise control between markets, not on the interstate within a beltway. Set it between 80-82.

 

High stakes gambler, love it!

Not at all.

 

I was never a big ticket writer but when I did some interstate enforcement I preferred to wait for vehicles doing 20 over. If it was a slow day (pun definitely intended) I would go with 15 over as my starting point.

 

You sound like my uncle lol. He always said that writing speeding tickets was a waste of time unless they were driving well over the limit. He said writing tickets to people driving 10-15 over was pointless because they would just pay the fine and continue driving at the same speeds.

I like big fish.

 

I remember my last day of dedicated speed enforcement on the interstate, I was doing my typical 20 over thing and three of the four vehicles I stopped were off duty law enforcement officers.

I love when I have the father in laws truck. FOP plates/stickers, the works.

That sounds familiar too lol. He mentioned trips to Richmond for training where his fellow employees would drive 85+ the whole way there and back.

Time is money and we don't want the government wasting any money. :bunny:

Hah no doubt.

Mostly between 75-80. Try to stay under 80 but sometimes I slip a little higher and slow back down.

 

Usually don't use CC in my car, but will in my girlfriend's because its easy for me to creep up without realizing it.
