He was hitting the s/b lanes of 680 just North of Pacheco Blvd, at the bottom of the hill after the Marina Vista exit...

He got me on the twisty part of 50, in the second or third passing lane after leaving Meyers. The slowpokes always seem to speed up for the passing lanes, so I had to step on it to get around them. The LEO clocked me at 73, but was nice enough to write me up at 65.

Yeah, I'm seeing a lot more CHPs on the road these days... seems like they have a mandate to help with the CA budget crisis! A few weeks earlier on 50 just outside of Sac I saw one standing on an overpass with radar (or probably lidar) and 4 cruisers laying in wait a half mile down the road.

There was a grant a little while back approved and the CHP lead said there would be some overtime going in to catch speeders.
