Exclamation State Troopers

Just been up and down Rt. 4 today and we went all the way out to Forrestville, we saw no less then 14 State Troopers in action from Dunkirk all the way to Solomon's! You guys might want to keep a lid on the speed. Hope you have a safe weekend!!

Were those all state trooper cars with the light bars on top? Or did you notice the "other" unmarked vehicles like the big SUVs, the new Chevy sedans, and the ever intriguing mustangs.

It's enough to drive you wild.

I've tailgated one of the Chevy's thinking it was just someone else and then they flashed the lights and I backed off. The other one saw me in the middle of a road rage with the car in front of me and when I jumped behind him he flashed his lights until I backed off.

You can't identify it because the lights in the back window are white bulbed until they turn them on. So it looks like your regular family car.

Luckily I was behind them and stayed behind them until they went wherever. I haven't done that since.

Helpful hint: regular family cars do not have lights in the back window.

But what happens if they pull you over and swear you were going 80 when you KNOW your CC was set at 65?

Don't have to worry about that...he's a diesel mechanic. This is the other half speaking his mind.
There is a way to check ur cc if you are not sure about the speed being right.
You plug a code reader into the OBD3III port under your dash and have the mechanic run a diagnostic check. But then again, wouldn't it be easier to drive the posted speed limit at 55mph. Float along in the right hand lane,
while watching the other morons drive like they are auditioning for a nascar team. But then again, this might be too simple of concept to grasp.
Personally, I think that half of the cars around here don't not come with operating turn signals. But then again of the mentalliaty of the people around here, I doubt that they know how to operate turn signals let alone use them. And ur complaining about posted speed limits, but then again reading and comprehensing on the posted speed limits, would interfer with talking on the cell phone, putting on make-up, worring about what the kids are doing, and making sure one's favorite radio station or CD is playing.
Here's another clue to ya'll that might be difficult to grasp, safe following distance. You should always give yourself a safe following distance of 3 seconds per 10 mile an hour. But then again....I would get a better response talking to the wall.
