I do drive fast and travel more than 60% of the yr so I am exposed to this quite often. I will forever incur tickets and use devices to aid me in my travels at reasonable speeds.

    Also, u fail to acknowledge the difference between speeding and excessive speed that I've mentioned in my posts. I complain because I actually drive. I do not own a modded, lowers, high power car I get in trouble with. I'm a traveller. I find it unfair to slight speeders that go through areas that arent known to them when the speed drops from 65 to 55 and during that trip be ticketed in the area because they maintained 65 in cruise mode or other, just because.

    It'd be different if I was yelling fuck the police, had a loud car, burnin up and down the highway, but on a trip of 500miles or more, it happens, the driver may be unaware, but the cops are just out to get u, just because.

    They hide at the creasts of hills, in dips in the road, behind buildings, in clusters and teams on top of crossways. One cop on the bridge, one hidden just up ahead, in lots, unmarked off the roadway, in planes, boats and even in cars that TRY to race you. All that and the person driving is simply driving, like he/she was 100miles ago, 1 state ago. Speed trapping you is unfair.

    If u want another example, get a credit card, buy something, pay on the credit card, make the same payments 4months in a row, then the credit card company fines u because your actual payment went down. U pay the fine and the total amount u would normally pay every month again. But this time, u have "points."

    ^I believe this is a horrible example lol but I'm rollin with it. Oh and about the headlights on at night, yes thats the law (the law is different obviously for the southern states I've been through)
    Man, you people never give up. Regardless if the speed drops from 65 to 55, and you are still cruising at 65 you are still speeding. It is the job of every driver to be aware of their surroundings, which includes any signs which aids, or directs you. People have to stop making excuses, because if you have a accident what will you say then. It's funny how people believe that we write tickets to be assholes, but that's not the case. Also every ticket we write doesn't go to that city or county, a bunch of the go to the state, so you might want to ask the governor where that money goes.

    Also, whats is the difference between speeding and excessive speeding? It's still breaking the law. Speeding and excessive speeding is done everyday by every driver, regardless if they admit it or not. The ones who always get caught are always the ones to complain.

    The difference between the two? Flying through a neighborhood at 70-80, or 35 in a parking lot or 30 in a school zone are inexcusable. Driving down a freeway and the speed limit changes for 4 miles within the limits of some town of whom does not directly intercept the thoroughfare that has officers justa waiting to catch the next person who enters the area.

    I'm not complaining about the "speed" part of this equation. I'm refering to the way in which it occurs. I am well aware that I will collect tickets all my life and I will pay for them, that doesnt bother me. Its the way in which it is carried out. Because, its Law, you can talk and talk about it. And if you happen to be one of those officers, good job at slowing and stopping us who speed. It helps, but skeeming to catch a driver is nonsense.

    U must hardly travel long distance.

    Different states have different laws and enforcement methods. As most of the posters on this site are in GA, they should know the GA Code: http://www.lexis-nexis.com/hottopics/gacode/

    I agree with you on this one - especially the bolded part.

    I disagree on this. There are a lot of people who do not ever speed - even 1 mile per hour over the limit. My mother is one of those, as was my grandmother (she just quit driving recently at 94 with no accidents or tickets ever). There are plenty of people who do not speed, just as there are a lot of those who consistently speed.
