the trouble with e-mails and postings is that what we could say or ask in person without fear of judgmental rhetoric somehow gets singled out for attack.
i used to and still enjoy the feeling of blasting across the northern higways when i have them to myself. But i no longer enjoy speeding when there is a risk of a collission. I spent 4 years in MOntana when they had no speed limits (in the interstate during the day) and it was fun and given the size of the state practical. But i have learned a few things:
1. radar detectors do just that: they tell you that you have been hit by radar (3 tickets in 2 years using a 300 state of the art detector)
2. go with the flow like an early poster said. Don't stand out.
3. Patrolcars have wheels ont them so they constantly relocate.
4. final word of advice comes from an old and i mean old TV show..called Highway Patrol starring Broderick Crawford. He had this closing line i will never forget:
"it doesn't matter who's right;
but, who's left"

I-75 between Tifton, GA and the FL border is packed with cops. We once saw 17 cops along that stretch in one county alone. Once you get in FL, however, you can go 90mph or faster...the cops there don't want to give their tourist-friendly state a bad reputation. Although even at 60mph you feel as if you are going fast with all the senior citizens driving!
