SWharton Posted September 11, 2015 Report Share Posted September 11, 2015 We just came down to FL from VA on I95. In NC they would sit on an overpass and catch speeders. We would see 3-4 pulled over in a mile. This occurred at several locations on I95. It was only on the N bound side for some reason. We found an app that sounds an alarm when we are above a limit that we set. We turn it on so we don't get a heavy foot when towing and it is very effective. App is Speed Warning, there are 2 with the same name, gray one is more accurate but harder to set a speed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand that they watch I-95 northbound closely because it is considered a major drug route. That might help account for only the northbound traffic being stopped. Never been there so only a guess based on what I've read and seen on TV.

SWharton Posted September 11, 2015 Report Share Posted September 11, 2015 We just sold our truck and trailer and moved to a MH. We bought a Dash Cam. We did not want it to record audio or speed, just video. Went with a basic model as we feel the dash cam market is in its infancy and needs some maturing. Instructions were horrible but finally found a YouTube video that helped immensely. Bought the Black Box G1W. Works well. Have it plugged into a hot plug, figure leave it on when in a restaurant, turned around so if anyone breaks in we may have a video. We unplug it when in a CG. It is a continuous loop and I have a 32G card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StarDreamers.us Posted September 11, 2015 Report Share Posted September 11, 2015 Many places may use the "Speed enforcement policy" as a source of money from the fines. A good one is the city of Duluth, GA along Buford Highway. Tough enforcement with the police hiding off the road. A good reason to SLOW down. In our travels if we see Speed enforcement activity we just move on. Thanks for sharing. Safe Travels!

Nolan Posted September 11, 2015 Report Share Posted September 11, 2015 Sept. 2012, Pagosa Springs, CO. had a Colorado Highway Patrol stop me for speeding in our car. I had just passed a car driver who was going slower. I was doing 73 mph when I got the job done. Officer said I was going 86 in 65. Knew that wasn't right, but what do you do? But now when people are going slower then me on a two lane road, if I don't think I can safely pass them by doing the speed limit, I don't pass them. I just slow down a little more so if the driver behind me wants to pass to go ahead. If it gets to be to many vehicles behind us, I look for a safe place to pull over. Get out of the car or the truck and take a break. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drallison Posted September 11, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 11, 2015 Nolan---I agree. My husband and I will often pull over to allow backed-up traffic to pass us on single lane roadways. Not worth the risk of passing, especially when hauling a trailer, on these type of roads....and definitely not worth the potential ticket! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandsys Posted September 12, 2015 Report Share Posted September 12, 2015 Our daughter used to complain she felt like a rock in a river when I was driving in lane two of a multi-lane freeway since other vehicles would pass us on both sides. She's the one that got a speeding ticket on that stretch, though. Said she was trying to get home before curfew.

SpaceNorman Posted September 17, 2015 Report Share Posted September 17, 2015 I've hit a couple of speed traps over the years ... typically, they've been "near home". My experience has been that if/when they decide to pull you over - it doesn't matter whether or not you've actually broken any traffic laws. ...and should you decide to try to fight whatever ticket you receive - unless you've done a tremendous amount of homework - your chances of winning are about that of the proverbial snowball in Hades. All you can do is take a few deep, deep breaths ... and pray that someday karma will afford you the opportunity to show them the same "kindness and consideration" while you go about doing whatever it is that you do.

richfaa Posted September 17, 2015 Report Share Posted September 17, 2015 We stay with the speed limits. We have never in over 20 years of Rv'ing had a ticket or been stopped or encountered a "crooked cop" Our on the road experiences with "cops" has been positive .We had one stop traffic in a construction area so we could make a tight turn and another time one stopped traffic so we could back out of a service station that we should not have been in the first place.

HighwayRanger Posted September 18, 2015 Report Share Posted September 18, 2015 drallison, I'm wondering what the next survey will be: anyone had any experience with crooked auto mechanics? Or perhaps crooked restaurant cooks? Maybe crooked chiropractors? Definitely want to know if anyone has had any experience with crooked veterinarians. I'll be waiting to see who is next.

RVTEN Posted September 22, 2015 Report Share Posted September 22, 2015 Good cops will allow for speedometer error. Never had a speedometer that was accurate at all speeds. I like when they have the road side speed checks. So you can compare your dash speed indicator with it.
