    Default Most nastiest speed trap ever.

    On my way back to college station, I have encoutered the shadiest speed trap ever. For those traveling on highway 6 toward waco, there are 3 consecutive speed traps on north bound 1600 something (officers handwriting of location is illegible)...but it is located in robertson county. 15 miles away from waco is a small town which highway 6 goes through. Well while driving through highway 6 going 75 mph (posted speed limit 70), the highway makes a really sharp curve. Immediately, there is a speed limit sign from 70 to 55. Right when you see the speed limit sign while driving on the sharp curve, imediately i was shot by instant on Ka band by a small town police. I kinda assumed there would be a police parked on the curve to clock people, so lucky enough i breaked hard before the 55 sign. While continuing through the road...just a minute later, the speed limit sign drops from 55 to 35 in this small town. Once again, right when I reach the 35 sign, hit by instant on Ka band radar. Continuing through this small town high way 6, another couple minutes later, shot with K band instant on. Within 5 minutes of my journey through this small town, I have encountered 3 shady speed traps in a small town. When i got pulled over by the 2nd police officer, I thought i was screwed when i hit the breaks HARD...but he just wanted to tell me that my headlights were out. Anyways, for those going toward waco direction on highway 6, this is a really easy way to get tangled in the very tricky speed trap.

    By the way, texas state troopers are really skilled now at using instant on radar. On my way to college station and back to waco, of all the state troopers i have encoutered, all used moving instant on. It seems that on highway 6, they dont park and shoot radar. I did not get any advance warning from my v1, so just becareful. They are very good at using instant on now. have a rabbit infront yall! oh, and cruise control is your best friend!

    BTW Texas is like Cali, Traffic an engineering survey required. There's no way a T&E survey would justify a drop like that.

    Ive driven up and down highway 6 plenty of times and dont remember that town....must be an example of how small it is lol.

    On my few trips to my old college town on i20 and 377 the troopers I ran into were using constant on it seemed. Or atleast I picked them up when they were getting other people with IO.
