You know I like my coffee sweet in the morning
and I'm crazy about my tea at night
I am always prepared to pay the fine, which is why I go 9 over. This is a pretty standard/ok fine.Originally Posted by Hoser
But this speed trap is on my daily route to work. It's unavoidable, unless I choose to change my route and drive by the elementary school, or get on the main artery.
Thanks 00tec. That jibes with my original thought process, that this is just a deterrent, but it is bad/scary when you have this kind of deterrent (drive the speed limit, or else) on a daily travelled road.
My next thought is to take it up with the Aurora City Council, because unless they have evidence to the danger of speeding on this road (which I have driven daily for the last 8 years), they shouldn't be pushing people onto an Elementary School Road, or a main artery, unless necessary.
Honestly though, complaining about it to some elected official that might benefit from ticket revenue is how you get a cop posted to the street.
They'll get the evidence from you.
Who the fuck is pushing you onto an elementary school road. That would actually be a personal choice on your part. FFS...
I always talk about how I donate to the "cop ball swim" when I get pulled over.
What is that? It's an inside joke that I've never lived down.
ETA: In a more serious tone, I am guessing the thing flashes lights and reads the speed of a single vehicle within what, 150 yards? But I am not there. Isn't the "non politically correct" answer: Drive the speed limit in front of the flashy thing? I mean, that's what people do here with the trailers. And then, as soon as they pass em... yeah...

This is very reason why I live in cities with higher speed limits. Washington between 136th and 144th use to be 60MPH (or was it 55) until the darn Outlet came in. Now it is only 45mph.
I guess I'm just old school, if the limit is posted, I "try" to stay close to that posted limit. Can't say I always do on the main roads, but on residential roads, I am slow, I don't want to kill anybody, I have kids, when they were little, speeders used to PISS ME OFF in the neighborhood. Now my kids are older, so I don't get as mad, but I've yelled at a few a-holes driving through like speed racer. I drive slow for the kiddos and the soccer moms yelling at their kiddos as they back out of the driveway. I don't like to be constrained to slow speeds, but generally speaking, I don't get worked up about it anymore, there is plenty of shit going on to piss me off as it is...
Speed limit are set artificially low. Engineering safety studies are ignored and limits are set by revenue greedy law enforcement agencies and politicians.
COVID has shown what the free flow safe speed of most roads. I-25 through Denver should be 65-75, not 55.
100% of all traffic fines and fees should go to the state lottery, not government. Law enforcement should never be revenue driven.
COVID has prevented from driving reasonable and prudent speeds. I would say that is 115 to 125mph. Beyond 125mph is fun for short bursts, but requires too much attention and slow-down-speedup for any real distance.. Well unless it is early Sunday morning away from any large city.
Haven't been to Germany in more than a year.
