NinjaNick Posted May 22, 2009 Report Share Posted May 22, 2009 Jarvis' post is just a generic knock off of mine! Mine is in "general", his just HAD to be narrowed down to a specific holiday.

magley64 Posted May 22, 2009 Report Share Posted May 22, 2009 Jarvis' post is just a generic knock off of mine! Mine is in "general", his just HAD to be narrowed down to a specific holiday. Give me a break, who cares about 1 holiday. actually his is more general, and includes more factors like1) Speed Traps Per Capita (# of speed traps listed on www.speedtrap.org indexed to population)2) Does the state have "driver responsibility" fees?3) Does the state have mayor's courts?4) Does the state authorize the use of roadblocks?5) What are the freeway speed limits?6) Does the state have red-light cameras?7) Does the state have speed cameras?8) Are there toll roads in the state?9) Is a jury trial available for traffic violations?10) Is trial by declaration (asserting a defense in writing without appearing in court) available?11) Is the state a member of the Non-Resident Violator Compact?12) Is the state a member of the Driver's License Compact?13) Are radar detectors banned in the state?14) Does the state have a primary seat belt law?15) Are there adult helmet laws in the state?16) Are there move-over laws in the state?17) Is cell phone use banned?

SteveChase Posted May 22, 2009 Report Share Posted May 22, 2009 The NW block of 270 between Sawmill and 161. DO THE SPEED LIMIT! Troopers hide behind the walls. The motorcycle cops are worse, their bike is completly tucked behind the barrier and they shoot over top of the wall. They are there almost daily, and on warm days in force.Trust me I know...trying to get out of one now ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ousley99 Posted May 22, 2009 Report Share Posted May 22, 2009 on that note, did anyone else notice an extreme increase in LEO coverage today?I rarely see an officer on my way to work, this morning I saw 7 of them...Don't forget about operation circle columbus this weekend! Every dept with 270 jurisdiction was given a budget for the weekend to put extra patrol on 270 to fuck up our weekend with a $100 speeding ticket for going 70 in a 65 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
