I was recently rewarded for my Mopac passing prowess.... 8mph over the limit! I surely must be going to hell for it. Or defensive driving.

What is the speed limit on Mopac? 65? I guess I should know that.

For years I thought it was 80.

It's not just there, it's in the NE too.

Since money from the state went down or away, there's been a shit-ton of cops out writing EVERYTHING.

Not about revenue generation my ass.

I was out running around in the cage at lunch today and I saw more people pulled over and PD and Sheriffs cars than I've seen in ages. And my receptionist was pulled over last night...interesting.

It started about a month ago and just keeps going apparently. I drive I35 every day and anymore I see at least 1 per day if not more. I actually saw a motorcycle cop pull a bike over for basically lane splitting yesterday morning.

Followed DPS most of the way today too, luckily he was going 80 too..

So if he dropped back and pulled you over, when he got to your window, would you say, "Sir, do you know how fast you were going?"
