    Default Trip advice: East Tn. To Springfield, Tn

    I will be leaving next weekend on a trip to Springfield, Tn. Does anyone have advice on what to watch for on a long trip into Tenn. I will be getting on I64 at Nashville and going North West at that point. Thanks in advance, Neopostman

    Drive really fast. You will get there faster & they only give citations to people they can catch.

    THP uses mostly Stalker 34.7 GHz Ka. They use about half instant on and about half constant on. THP is also in the business of unmarked cars and SUVs so be aware of that threat too. Once you get in the Nashville the highest threat is laser. Metro uses Pro laser 3 along with some Ka radar on the highways. Once you get north of Nashville the threat should go back to most radar. As you probably know Middle and Eastern TN's topography is hilly so watch out for the over the hill and around the curve traps. Hope that helps!
