There will still be trucks, because some will do it illegally to try and skip the weigh stations.

I think the issue is that you have to have IE9 or another browser

Seems that way... I will have to sign when I get home, since work computers use IE.

I know what the answer is.....there is money to be made from writing a high volume of expensive speeding tickets...but....doesn't safety get a hearing at some point too? |

Tenn cops aren't writing speeding tickets hand over fist either. They have been real decent about how they patrol the area. |

Example - 35 mph 4 lane road with a turning lane in the middle where it was previously 45 when it was only a 2 lane road. They widened the road out and DROPPED the speed limit. Put these crazy 20 foot billboards showing a cop sitting there with his radar gun out basically saying go 35 or else. They would setup at the end of the road with 15-20 cops and go up and down the road pulling ppl over left and right for doing 40 in a 35. Telling me that's for safety? They've relaxed it now I guess because enough people have complained, but they still sit up and down the road.. it's a straight shot for about 5 miles with way too many traffic lights. On any typical day I see 5-10 cops on my hour commute (each way) to work. Yesterday I saw 2 cops sitting in a parking lot then down the road 5 more cops had ppl pulled over all in a line. I usually average 50 down the road because anything else is just too fuckin slow.

rumor has it...a guy won a lawsuit over a ticket at the dragon because they have the road posted at 30mph but they never legally changed the speed so offically on the books. it is still 55mph

Isn't taking a semi through that road EVERY bit as "reckless", given that it is IMPOSSIBLE for them to do so and remain safely in their own lane, as driving/riding 25+ mph over the speed limit? If not more? |
