Today's speed traps - a new record!

if you will
I've been commuting from White Plains to Pax NAS for 9 years now, and this is the first time I've driven through five speed traps on my way to work. Wow! (I did come to work really late today) Luckily a coworker gave me a heads-up. Felt kinda good to amble by the speed traps at 4 mph over and give a grin. Makes me wonder what their "threshold" was? 10 mph?

Anyone get nabbed today?

I've heard this from several people today, and saw one on my way in. I have short commute. The highest number I heard was 7 traps between here and Indian Head.

I was going the opposite direction (St. Mary's to Charles)...they were everywhere. I've noticed in the last few weeks a lot of cops with people pulled over in the morning. They're everywhere. Don't they have better things to do like look for Osama..jk

I was told at a party yesterday to expect a speed trap approx. every 2 miles on 235 and 5 today - from 7am to 7pm. I used cruise control this morning, expect I'll use it again this afternoon.

I counted four traps on my commute from Lex Park to Hollywood this morning. They're out in force for some reason. Perhaps it's almost quota time?

No speed traps on Trapp Rd this morning.. none on Chisleytown or Beachville Rd either.. this 6 mile commute is a bear!! :whistle:

ups driver at the office today told us from south of charlotte hall to gate 1 he saw 8 speed traps.

LOL, I must have missed a few. I only counted 5, so there were probably 3 I didn't even notice. Looks like I won't even need fifth gear on the drive home. :ohwell:

I didn't count, but there were a significant number of speed traps on Rte 4 between Lusby and Dunkirk this morning. There had to be at least 12-15 patrol cars involved.

This is also part of the click it or ticket program they are running. Count me in for $25.

Yep my husband got a ticket for not wearing his seat belt. I tried to tell him to wear it but he didn't listen. Now I can say I told you so. :lmao:

On my way through La Plata one day last month they were stopping every car and checking for seat belts...made for a long commute.

I saw the posts about the traps before heading ou today. I have a BIL that is a PG officer. He says his threshold is 7 mph.

I saw at least three speed radars on Rt 4 coming back home from Upper Marlboro to Solomons about noon or thereabouts. It looked like they were getting quite a few "paying customers".

I left for BWI at 9am and there was multiple speed traps. hard to count though. There were SO many po-po cars with folks pulled over, hard to tell where the traps were vs. poor schmucks caught in them. :lol:

On trip back about noon though, no traps, just many po-po cars zipping about.

And I made it through unscathed. :angel:

You saw that too, I was going the opposite direction and the traps went until Dunkirk so you are definitely right.

There were state, county, and unmarked cars out there working together. I saw a trap that had an unmarked car waiting with a county car behind it and then a little ways down the road someone was pulled over by a county car.

There is definitely something up. Check the trees too because they hide in bushes with radios.

I hope they are also making sure everyone brought their lunch, did all their homework, washed behind their ears, and put on clean shorts this morning.


Also I hope their handing out bubble wrap, so everyone can wrap up tight and nobody gets any ouchies during the day.
