America's worst speed traps

http://autos.yahoo.com/articles/auto...t-speed-traps/

Those statistics are pretty crazy. Houston police officers writing 3,000 tickets per day, which roughly equals 147 an hour, wow.

Lmao, Texas

lol, Jacksonville. Such a crappy town. Denver's no surprise--I've seen a few side-road traps set up with no car at all recently, just three officers standing on the side of the road. One has lidar, one steps out and waves motorists in and one writes tickets. Makes me wonder what they'd do if you just kept on driving--I never see another squad car nearby.

Jacksonville's police got my dad for pulling out of his driveway once. Literally. The speed on his street is 30, and he pulled out of his driveway then accelerated to get into the right turn lane a block away. An officer was standing there with lidar and pulled him for 34 in a 30. They've got some issues anywhere north of Orlando, south of Brunswick and east of Lake City.

Nothing in my State of North Cackylacky made this list, WOW I'm in disbelief!! LOL

Houston #1, lol.. That's why Houston spawns guys like erickonphoenix - he's legend!

Jayson Luber, the traffic reporter for 7News at ABC affiliate KMGH, said officers will even wait for drivers riding in the exit lane who dart back into other lanes at the last minute, and nab them for crossing a white line. He said holiday weekends are the worst but police are out in full force year round.

Where's the problem here?

Does it count if I'm the legend with the ladies.

Colorado sucks when it comes to speed traps, I wouldn't advice to travel in that state thru the holidays that's when you can be a potential revenue donor. Speed traps are notorious in Denver I can't speak about Colorado Springs as much as Denver, but it wouldn't surprise me either. The state LEO's love to get people on I-25.

Houston well that speaks for itself their brutal here and they sure live up to their reputation.

8 speeding tickets comes along with 2 TEXAS native your choice women. ;)

How many tickets do you want me to write you down for.

Hell, in that case, just send me straight to jail. If 8 tickets equals 2 women, surely jail equals several women?

Put me down for four tickets then. I can only handle so much nagging! Besides, with two of them I'd be so tired I'd never get anything done.

I know, and if you have to resort to that then you either had your head firmly up your ass for the preceding two miles or you were trying to pass as many vehicles as possible on the right and cut in at the last possible opportunity. Both of those behaviors are more dangerous than simple speeding.
