The wife got zapped last night.
She should have known better, but still got caught for 77/60. At least she admits fault (Like there's any question, but you know....) |

Quote HistoryNo dount, 950 fatalities is a lot. Ohio has 11.5 Million residents. If you figure 11.5M x 1.5 (guess) vehicle trips per day, per resident = 6,296.25 Million trips per year
6296.25M / 950 deaths = 1 death per 6.63M vehicle trips |

Where is the correlation between any amount of speeding and fatalities ?
Motor vehicle crash deaths involving speeding as a contributing factor, 2014 - 28%, Non-speeding related 2014 - 72% |

Friday night between 161 and Polaris there were 6 staties and a cpd dude peaking out from behind a barrier. That must be the safest section of Rd, there's always motorcycle cops there, driving the wrong way on the shoulder.....

From Amherst to Parkersburg, WV on Saturday morning there were 9 cops, and on the return trip on Sunday there were 13. We make this trip a lot and the normal number is zero to 2.

Shotar was running radar in my second drive today.
I'm surprised he didn't get someone, this road is like the autobahn south of town. Going north, people seem to thing the speed limit is 40-45 when it's 55. |

The OSHP money-grab-bonanza was a stunning success. 2,913 people got pulled over for going too fast...which affected nothing but the coffers of the OSHP, and the wallets of the peasants.

There is no documented correlation between issuing a ticket and the reduction of a fatality. If the 85th percentile is 78 mph, let motorists drive it then.

No, I tend to get right to the point. I say I stopped you for whatever it is. Sometimes there is a comical retort, but mostly it's just silence . Last week there was a fun conversation. Me- You were doing 79 in a 55. Him - I just sped up to pass a slow poke. Me- You mean that car that was going 55 that you passed? Him - Yeah that one!. Me- Ahaaahhh! Him- Dohhhh. |

I can understand reckless speeding tickets (99 in 70). How about all these assholes on their phones and texting no matter what the speed limit? I see that being just as if not more reckless and deserving of a citation.

He may be one of those people who is an habitual speeder. You know, those people?E that use the excuse that everyone speeds all the time, without really knowing that most people usually drive within 5 to 10 mph of the posted speed and that's why most cops allow some margin of error. |
