excell Posted May 9, 2007 Report Share Posted May 9, 2007 This morning, about 8:45AM, on I-670 Eastbound there was a motorcycle cop about a 1/4 mile West of Fifth Avenue. There was a cruiser about 200 feet West of Fifth Avenue going Westbound. Those motorcycle cops are hard to spot until it's too late. Be careful.

TTQ B4U Posted May 9, 2007 Report Share Posted May 9, 2007 Saw then all over today.......must be the sun....they really like to hide under bridges in the shadows. Too bad the bastards couldn't catch me today Gotcha today Po-Po!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
excell Posted May 9, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 9, 2007 I just don't really speed anymore. Typically 5-9mph over, and if I know there are cops out, I'll just do 5 over. Not worth it to get fucked over on my rates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TTQ B4U Posted May 9, 2007 Report Share Posted May 9, 2007 I do the same most of the time....seriously. Today I passed one that I saw a ways, ways back going my typical 73mph in the center lane. He never took his eye off the gun. I sense they are looking for the bad, bad boys going 80+. IIRC anything under 10mph on 55mph+ roads doesn't give points, just a fine. Could be wrong....but money I can deal with..points piss me off. I just don't really speed anymore. Typically 5-9mph over, and if I know there are cops out, I'll just do 5 over. Not worth it to get fucked over on my rates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
excell Posted May 9, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 9, 2007 9mph and under is a no-points speed. It still shows up as a speed to your insurance, and they don't care if it's 9 or 29 - they'll raise your rates. I have a 59 in a 55 from about this time last year. It's bullshit.

TTQ B4U Posted May 9, 2007 Report Share Posted May 9, 2007 As much as I can appreciate what they do in some respects, the below is why I'm glad cops don't get paid shit. 59 in a 55 is a waste of my tax dollars. Sorry if that offends anyone. I have a 59 in a 55 from about this time last year. It's bullshit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cptn janks Posted May 9, 2007 Report Share Posted May 9, 2007 theyve been working all of 670 the past few days. around lunch time on monday, i saw FIVE of them on the westbound side in the 55 zone, from 71 to third street. 3 of them had ppl pulled over, one was just chillin and the other was running radar. other than that ive seen about 20 people pulled over this week on 670. watch it out there. i agree with the 5-9 over. i had a state trooper tell me once that he wont pull anyone over going less than 76. im sure the cops know if they are hidden well enough, soon enough someone will come by at 90 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
