Yep. I hear you Larry, but...a number of years ago I bought a radar
detector. Not because I'm a big speeder, I usually drive about 75 on the
Interstates, but because I got a couple of what I call bullshit tickets.
That is..lazy cops in my neighborhood sitting under a shade tree on a long
straight road with no houses, no kids, nothing but woods all around, and the
speed limit is 30 mph. You just can't drive that slow for very long. The
limit should be about 40, but the cops really like that shade tree. I'v
actually thought about chopping it down.
Another BS ticket I got several years ago was because a construction crew
forgot to take down a 50 mph sign after the construction was long gone.
This was on a remote road in south Florida where again, the cops just took
advantage of the situation. The rest of the road was 65 except for this one
little stretch where that sign was. I may have been able to win this one in
court, but court was about 250 miles from home.
Of course, in Virginia, radar detectors are 'illegal', so you have to put it
on the floorboard. I found it works just as well on the floor.

Hey, I hear you, Billy, but that's your choices.
If I could drive as fast as I wanted, I could either see more clients or
spend more time at home. Either one would be preferable to driving like my
grandmother. I hate it, but that's the cards we are are dealt.
I just drove 470 miles round trip this week to see one client. I could
easily have knocked a couple of hours off the trip if I drove at a speed
that isn't so boring as to make me sleepy. Like Sammy, I can't drive 55,
either.
You make your choice and you pay the price, but it is your choice.

But they have ridiculous speed limits. If we drove the speed limit, we'd
only be able to play three or four shows a week. Plus, we're from
California...where average traffic moves at about 80mph without hassle.
