Get the speeding out of your system on an autox or track day. Most people speeding around & cutting in/out of traffic can’t actually drive very well.

I read down further & you stated 10 over. On most highways that’s not bad. I won’t talk shit on that. 10 over in a 25 residential area though is another story altogether
I'm usually 5 to 10 under in neighborhoods/residential areas. People ride my ass when I do it, but I give zero fucks. Only assholes speed in residential areas.

Good to know because I plan to ride out to the west coast next spring and hit all those beautiful coastline highways I see pics of.
I’m taking the wife to Mendocino this weekend. Haven’t been back home to SLO in a bit. Have to do that soon & meet up with BWS @BWS again.

Is that the CA version of 9 you're fine, 10 you're mine?
I was always 10 your fine, 11 plus your mine, and that was just for the stop but everyone got a warning unless they were an asshole. I was looking for other things besides speeders. The ones that slammed on their brakes and you could see the nose of the car dip down immediately are the ones that drew my attention due to their reaction of seeing me. Pulled a lot of warrants, drugs, etc out of those stops.

Basic tenet of traffic interdiction, look for what isn't the norm. Most people will look at you as they drive by to see if you are looking at them and ready to pull out, drivers with 1000 yard stares white knuckling it at 2/10 is not normal. Plus the passenger that was reclined back would all of a sudden pop up while throwing their seat belt on is also what we like to call a clue.

A friend of mine that's a COP told me that he took the nose dip as an admission of guilt. Possibly just speeding, but like you said, it's often a lot more. He told me that about 20 years ago, and thankfully, I haven't had a speeding ticket, since. I also always wave to LEO when I pass them.

Yep, people do it sub consciously, there are the one offs of a new driver or the elderly that get freaked out but those are easy to figure out. Also when they try and distance themselves from the car, purse, backpack, etc. Another clue.

I always loved when I asked if there was anything illegal in the car after all the indicators came together and I knew something was afoot.

Answer, I don't think so. You don't think so or know so. Uh, I think so. Bingo, game on.

I hate assholes who speed too fast, I hate assholes who drive too slow and I absolutely loathe people who drive the speed limit the little fucking angels! I just hate other drivers. Especially with foreign or out of state plates.

I only buy scratchers like a degenerate.
Getting back on subject before somejuan mistook lotto tickets for speeding tickets...my dad won the triple 9 scratcher 20k. Stingy cunts in TAYHOSS gaming took nearly 5k of his winnings to tax. He spent his whole life playing scratchers and gambling so this was more like a loan getting paid back with no interest and getting stiffed part of the payment.

I try to stick with ~10% over the limit, barring school zones and 25mph and slower

Speed limit 45? Do 50. Interstate and 60? 65-68. But if it's 70 limit I'll stick to that, that's my cap outside of a quick pass

I prefer to stay in the outside lane on cruise. Y'all speed demons can have the inside lanes.

Back in the day we could cash like 5 grand in scratchers and it wasnt taxed we just had to mail it in the scratcher but they lowered the tax threshold to 600 bucks now so we get taxed on 600 dollars because they report it to the IRS. The most I won was maybe 500 bucks on scratchers but by then god only knows how many thousands I dollars I had spent losing or breaking even.

100% me. I love buying a $2 ticket and daydreaming what I'll do with the winnings. Figure you'll get about 1/3 of the jackpot after taking the lump sump and paying taxes on it.
I’m sure you’ll win one day, if you keep it up until the year 42375

You shouldn't feel dumb, you should feel morally outraged. Speeding tickets are unconstitutional.

The right to travel is a part of the "liberty" of which a citizen cannot be deprived without due process of law under the Fifth Amendment

Some asswipe with a badge's claim that you were speeding doesn't seem like due process to me, but I'm often wrong about most things.

Either way, I'm always 10 over the posted limit, that's the official speed limit here in Best Carolina.
If you want freedom ride your bike or walk, you give up all kinds of rights driving with a drivers license. I like to ride my bike around high and call dogs names. The cops can’t do shit

I usually pedal about 25 miles every Saturday. I stop and eat a gummy about halfway through the ride. Sometimes, I'll stop and get a beer or two. It's delightful.

I hate bikers. I'll toss some grass clippings out my truck into a bike lane in your honor, good sire.

Who the fuck is going to play this now?

Retards. People will buy less tickets so it shouldn't grow as they think. When the jackpot is huge I usually throw in 10 bucks so instead of 5 tickets it's just 2!I'm not bumping it to 25!
