    Default Grapevine police crackdown on speeding along DFW Connector

    Nothing but a speed trap through here. There is absolutely no reason for the limit to be 50mph through here and the majority of the time there aren't even workers out there on those roads. Most people who drive through continue driving in the 70s, if you were to drive 50 you will be cut off repeatedly and possibly hit.

    Weeth, this story should answer your question about I/O K band from the Grapevine Police Motorcycles. They have Decatur Genesis Handheld radar guns mounted on their motorcycles.

    Dude, thanks for posting! I read an article the other day saying that they've written 500 tickets so far. Yes, 500 freakin' tickets!! How gay is that!

    I agree that people should pay attention through there. The roads are windy and the lanes are narrow. It's an absolute night mare driving through there. I'm so sick of all this goddamn construction. It's everywhere! TX 114 near Loop 12 (old TX stadium) is even worse. I'm not sure why they're doing all this construction. I think it's related to the DART rail, for AA's to commute cheaper. Whatever the reason is, it sucks. I won't drive on 114 in that area on purpose. I hear about wrecks there all the time, and most are caused by distracted drivers. You really do have to pay attention driving through there. Construction sucks!

    The one you described is where I almost had my heart attack. I didn't see the cops shooting PL3's, but that's a great report you found. It also gives a us peek at their equipment. Thanks so much for posting!
