My buddy is a deputy and sends me a Snapchat or 2 a week catching someone going over 100 on a 2 lane highway.
His best one was catching a soccer mom going 80 on highway 75. He said she was going 15 over and she argued it was only 5 over. She thought the highway signs were the speed limit. He asked her how fast she went on highway 2.
Eastbound from Eisenhower, a trooper got me at the chain removal lot (everyone knows the one). He told me I was the last car in a line going the same speed and he normally pulls over the first car and tickets them. But since I was last, just a warning.IMHO... cops shouldn't pull folks over for less than 15 mph over.

I got pulled over one time headed down to Denver... at the time the speed limit was 55 and I was doing 61, a month later they upped the speed limit to 65 in that section.Eastbound from Eisenhower, a trooper got me at the chain removal lot (everyone knows the one).

If I was a cop, I would target the soccer moms. They drive wild as hell around here.My buddy is a deputy and sends me a Snapchat or 2 a week catching someone going over 100 on a 2 lane highway.

Girl that I went to school with got a DUI on a Friday, got another in the next down over the next night. Her mom used to be on the local police force. Nobody in that family has ever been labeled as exceptionally bright. Now that I think about it I'm not even sure if she was of legal drinking age at the time.I got my first ticket at 14 on a school permit going 72 in a 50 and it has been all downhill from there. The good thing is the older you get they just start issuing warnings because they realize it’s too late to change your behavior. My buddy got 2 tickets in a row, 15 minutes apart. That’s quite a feat. I got popped a couple weeks ago in a semi, passing someone on a highway. He got me at 85 in a 65 but knocked it down to 75 in a 65.
Canadian cops always get the, "the sign said 110m/h", "that's km/h sir". I wonder how often they are that stupid and how often they think that excuse will work.My buddy is a deputy and sends me a Snapchat or 2 a week catching someone going over 100 on a 2 lane highway.

My worst ticket was on Hwy 191 where it dips into WY and YNP just north of West Yellowstone. Speed limit drops to 55 in that section. There was a line of 3 cars ahead of me going right at 55, so when I hit a straight stretch with legal passing zone I punched it to get around them. By the time I noticed the lead car was a cop, it was too late. He tagged me at 91, but only wrote me up for 64. Great guy!
I also got to learn that there’s no traffic statutes in Federal law, so if you get ticketed in a Federal jurisdiction like a national park, you’re getting a Federal misdemeanor that sticks on your record forever. Wasn’t too happy about that. I’ve never exceeded 60 on that stretch since.
Wonder if the speedometer in your jimmy is broken?A couple of years ago on Thanksgiving weekend some young jerk with a badge stopped me on Hwy 2 east of Kalispell for doing 57 in 55. I passed him on outside lane because he was messing with his phone and jackrabbitting. "You knew you were speeding when you passed me." Like I blew his doors off? After ten minutes of him hassling me I finally told him to write me a ticket and shut up. I'd be delighted to hang around long enough to watch a local JP shove that piece of paper up his arse! "You need to show me some respect!" I laughed. "Get your gawdam pen out or give me my license back." He opted for door number two.
