1000mile road trip tomorrow Houston-Daytona Beach

[RB211-535]

I'm heading back to school tomorrow and it is a 1000mile trip for me that is going to be done non-stop. Texas to Florida. I was wondering if there were any new threats on I-10 East and I-12 East. Also with my setup, what cruising speed should I use? Thanks in advance!

However fast you feel like going. On I-10, watch out for TX DPS. They love to use I/O Ka 34.7; also on I-10, I've seen a HPD Dodge Ram multiple times going about 90+ in the HOV lane running C/O Ka 35.5 so watch out for him. Good luck on your trip. Let us know if you get any saves.

I would cruise about 90 on I-10 and I-95 where there is very little on ramp and 10 above where there is a lot of on ramp. Make a quick stop every 4-8 hours just to rest the eyes. If ever your tired, don't go above 10 over. If you find a good rabbit, make sure you tail it at least 2,000ft back.

Thanks alot guys for your tips! DrCoke, awesome advice, I will definitely it into consideration. Do you think I should turn on X band for the trip?

2. TX DPS Ka 34.7 C/O
3. TX DPS Ka 34.7 I/O
4. Louisiana State Police Ka 34.7 C/O stationary
5. Louisiana State Police Ka 34.7 C/O moving
