Default Where Are The Cops

Was driving on EL Camino this morning, doing my 35mph and a SUV passed me doing at least 70mph. Bet if I was doing 40mph a cop would have shown up.

Don't worry, sooner or later they'll get caught.

I bet we have all done it one time or another in our lifetimes.

I rarely see police in TV. Only twice have I seen radar in the years we have been here. Surely, they give you 5 mph----no? I just figured they were out solving "real" crimes. This is what I use to tell my first cousin who was a State Trooper in Illinois. "Unless it is you Jim", I give them 10mph, he told me! I always wonder what he meant by that?

Really, rarely see police in TV? I guess they must follow me around....I see them all the time. Thank goodness I don't like to go too fast in TV.

Trust me they run radar everywhere. Everyday. They must lead the state in radar issued tickets.

they are on 466A in Fruitland Park. Nearly everyone I know has had one traffic ticket on that stretch of road since moving to The Villages. Another place for speed traps are Micro-Racetrack Road and Rolling Acres. It is posted 35 and believe me they will pick you off if you go anything over that speed.
