If you commute on 59 through Lufkin, be warned... They have Ultralytes!
The speed limits are artificially low.... Be careful.

Seven Oaks (Outside it and inside it for about 10 miles), state troopers LOVE it
Livingston (State troopers all around this area....)
Nacogdoches (Mainly Ka,K C/O, but some Ka I\O)
ANY CONSTRUCTION ZONE WITH A SHOULDER!!!!!!
If you have a CB, it will be your best friend. Truckers will call out bears 1/2 of the time!
ALWAYS USE A RABBIT! Troopers are deadly with I/O!
TAKE HEED ANY KA alert you get... even if you see a Cobra.... State Troopers are DEADLY!
Most cops come out in the morning from 7-12. Some are around at night, but alot less surprisingly.
That about sums it up.... I don't know what you might face north of Nacogdoches.
I have driven this route twice a week for half a year... I know it like the back of my hand.
Damn lol i think im gonna setup a camera I think, love to document some of this. Im considering ordering a valentine for the occasion but I may just stick with my rx. Would be nice to have one of those peanut butter jelly moments that someone posted a while back :) Im still astounded by that lol just worried about the IO and thanks for the heads up.
The reason there are so many cops is 59 is the biggest drug smuggling highway in the world. The RX will be fine.... just use a rabbit.Quote:

I used to go 90 all the time........ It is really risky. I almost got owned by DPS shooting LIDAR..... Outbreaked him because he shot me around 2000 feet... never seen him around again though....Quote:

You have a jammer so you have no reason to be concerned.
Found that out on my trip :) thanks for the tips ended up not encountering any laser but alot of ka and k. The construction zones are hotspots like you said. Besides that I found a good rabit, a v1 user :) and we got back to houston pretty fast. It was funny seeing the braking differences between us when we encountered leos lol. Lucky find though made it back in around 3 hours :)Quote:
