I passed 2 on the way home from work today, they were only doing about 10 mph over the speed limit.

Do they all have the weekends off?

I haven't seen one there yet, but when I cross the bridge to Calvert (on the weekends) I have seen them, and people don't go nuts in Calvert.

Just kidding, I have a tendency to put cages on my six, were presumably they can’t hurt me.

:lol: I eased by them :yay:

I a firm believer in maintaining a positive speed differential when I'm on the bike.

Turned into San Souci from southbound 235 this afternoon and on McAurther at the first left toward the post office, some guy decided he shouldn't wait for the folks in his lane and moved into mine, despite the blowing horn. I think he noticed my high beams and I conveved the message that he was #1 with me when he cut back over.

I think it's a fantastic idea. People endanger my life daily on route 4.

yeah, to an extent, but to concentrate them all in one spot like that is useless, they should all be driving up and down the roads, people with undoubtedly do stupid things when they don't see the cops, they should look for aggressive drivers, they are more dangerous than those who speed. I had one guy behind flashing headlights and honking horn, while i was already going 65...I didn't have anywhere to go, people on the right of me, and people in front of me, he didnt get anywhere, (route 4 morning rush hour) and he tried to run me off the road. Where are the cops at when there are people like that on the road.

Aren't you supposed to have an adult with you when you drive?

What would the cops do? Give the guy a high five for running your stupid azz off the road?

What you don't understand is the reason for having speed traps like this. It's not my job to educate you, so ask one of your special ed teachers at school to explain it to you.

It causes me great pain me to agree with someone whose general purpose here is to annoy people, but that's a good point. 95% of drivers speed to some extent, and 95% of them don't normally cause a major problem. (yes, these are my own made-up numbers, please don't ask me to cite my source) What I'd like to see is more unmarked cruisers pulling people over for tailgating, passing on the right, weaving through lanes with out signalling, rolling through stop signs. THOSE are the people who really need tickets, or perhaps just a sound beating on the side of the road.
