There has been increased police traffic enforcement during the weekdays and primarily during the afternoon. I saw some poor guy get pulled over for maybe going 10 - 15 mph over the posted speed limit. I understand he was speeding a little, but really.

Which other areas of our community should I pay special attention when driving? Always be safe and please drive safely.
LEO usually won't bother a driver that is 5 to 8 over unless in a school zone. Allow enough time to reach your destination and take a relaxed drive. Our community appear to have 2 speeds wide open or a crawl. Many seniors drive slower as their reflexes are generally slower, others are in a huge hurry. The majority of the time the driver flying weaving in and out of traffic is waiting at the next light. Where we hail from in GA 10 over is a steep fine & 15 over gets you a day in court.
