    Default Rough in Ga.

    Had to drive across the state today, I-75, I-16, I-20 and a lot of back roads. There is NO good way to get from Columbus to Augusta and I do it all the friggin' time...

    I'd say 80% of the small towns had a C/O yokel bugger pickin'.

    I had 2 "EYEBALL, BRAKE, RADAR I/O encounters, one from a friggin' GREY SUV I happeded to see the radar antenna in the front, and one from a cruiser with a bar.

    TWO LIDAR hits, which is a first for one trip...

    Plus the regular interstate traps.

    I stopped counting at 6 LEOs and this was in the first 50 miles!

    I saw at FIVE with customers and this was a little 150 or so mile trip.

    Still beat the Garmin ETA by 10 minutes even with stopping for gas once and stopping by the parts store for washer fluid and "pre-flight"

    Now to get home tomorrow night...

    Time-and-a-half tomorrow woo-hoo!

    Making the trip down 85 tomorrow myself. Maybe there will be some action there. The last month or so 85 has been very quiet.

    Yea, the past few weeks have been pretty quiet on my trails as well. And I mean QUIET!

    Last week I went over 1000 miles and was actually wondering if some of my stuff wasn't working...

    Time to use rabbits on the way back home. Good luck! You saved over $800 so far.

    I don't know if they'll still be at it but I noticed VERY HEAVY enforcement in construction zones. They have decreased PSL and increased fines.

    Easy pickins...

    When I came through in May, some of those "construction zones" were just a bunch of barrels for miles.... with no people doing any construction.

    I haven't seen much enforcement in the construction zones, just the city and county units in their usual spots.

    You're misunderstanding, Z. When they say "Construction Zone" they mean it's an area for increased revenue generation to provide funding for Construction Projects. It's like a fishing Derby....You want to make sure that there actually IS a prize ceremony so you stock the pond first.

    ...Standard Boy Scouts 101. Duh.
