They have nothing better to do but hide and pull you over for going 1mph over the speed limit. Luckily, I grew up here so I know where they hide. A heads up...if you are coming into town watch out in the outter county/outer suburbs area. What is sad is the county I live in isnt very populated except on its northern end where I live. They will send county officers up to patrol because this is where the money is. They pull people over and make them go to county so other towns can have revenue. Aint that some sh@#!]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Bryan]]></dc:creator><pubDate>May 30th 2007 12:45PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Top 10 cities in which NOT to speed]]></title><link>http://www.autoblog.com/2007/05/30/top-10-cities-in-which-not-to-speed/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.autoblog.com/2007/05/30/top-10-cities-in-which-not-to-speed/</guid><description><![CDATA[When it says DC I assume it means VA and to a lesser extent MD as well.

The speed limit, say if its 65 MPH, is 65 MPH. Its not 5 MPH over 65 or 1 MPH over 65, its 65 MPH max. Its just that Americans are such lousy drivers (I'll shamefully admit that I am an American driver, but proudly admit that I've yet to get a moving violation ticket) and they always try to bend the rules.<br><br>It's illegal to go over the speed limit. Just like its illegal to snort cocaine. Even if you just do a tiny bit, its still illegal. Of course if its impossible to not impede the flow of traffic then you must speed but that doesn't mean you can go 20 over the limit.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[guestt]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jun 1st 2007 2:14PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Top 10 cities in which NOT to speed]]></title><link>http://www.autoblog.com/2007/05/30/top-10-cities-in-which-not-to-speed/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.autoblog.com/2007/05/30/top-10-cities-in-which-not-to-speed/</guid><description><![CDATA[While Detroit Subs are notorious for their traps, the man is pretty tolerant of mild speeding.  My experience has been that freeway speeding in the single digits doesn't evoke any reponse from cops who lay in waiting.  I have blown past cops at 79mph countless times.  I can live with that.<br><br>In contrast, I would love to compare this list with a list of cities with the lowest traffic congestions.  I am sure there would be a correlation.  Folks in LA would be hard pressed to speed during daylight hours.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[SN]]></dc:creator><pubDate>May 30th 2007 12:55PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Top 10 cities in which NOT to speed]]></title><link>http://www.autoblog.com/2007/05/30/top-10-cities-in-which-not-to-speed/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.autoblog.com/2007/05/30/top-10-cities-in-which-not-to-speed/</guid><description><![CDATA[This has become a real sore spot with me.  Someone driving slightly over the speed limit is not a hazard to the public safety, but they are a great source of revenue for government agencies.  I have been in law enforcement for many, many, many years and when I started it was not in the best interest to cite everyone for speeding.  Too many tickets written meant a trip to the supervisor for a lecture.  Now government can sell anything to the community as long as they can 1) induce fear  and  2) make them believe it is a benefit to the public safety.  Why raise taxes when you can get more revenue by writing traffic tickets?]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[G.PeterinCA]]></dc:creator><pubDate>May 30th 2007 1:15PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Top 10 cities in which NOT to speed]]></title><link>http://www.autoblog.com/2007/05/30/top-10-cities-in-which-not-to-speed/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.autoblog.com/2007/05/30/top-10-cities-in-which-not-to-speed/</guid><description><![CDATA[I'm surprised Seattle isn't on the list.

Ann Arbor though, d-bags.  But in College I lived in Cleveland Heights (bordering Cleveland) and they supposadly make more revenue off speeding tickets than any other city per capita.  I have seen on many occasions near the middle and end of the month when they will park 5-10 cruisers at the bottom of a steep, curved hill in which it is 3 lanes down hill, two up, pretty much a must to speed or get run over, and will hide two guys in the bushes at the top with radar guns, radioing down to the cruisers at the bottom...sometimes they will stand outside the car and just point at you with eye contact to pull over in the bus lane at the bottom...rough man.  I have gotten tickets for 5 over there before.  It is the hornet's next!]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Car Designer]]></dc:creator><pubDate>May 30th 2007 4:14PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Top 10 cities in which NOT to speed]]></title><link>http://www.autoblog.com/2007/05/30/top-10-cities-in-which-not-to-speed/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.autoblog.com/2007/05/30/top-10-cities-in-which-not-to-speed/</guid><description><![CDATA[If you ever wondered how Denver planned to pay for its new airport, check out Pena Boulevard, which is the access road to DIA (Denver International Airport).  The road is wide open and the speed limit is much lower than you might expect for a freeway; to make matters worse, the speed limit changes to 35 about 5 miles before the terminals.  It's very easy to miss the speed limit signs while you are trying to figure out where to go.  <br><br>]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Todd S.]]></dc:creator><pubDate>May 30th 2007 1:53PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Top 10 cities in which NOT to speed]]></title><link>http://www.autoblog.com/2007/05/30/top-10-cities-in-which-not-to-speed/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.autoblog.com/2007/05/30/top-10-cities-in-which-not-to-speed/</guid><description><![CDATA[I live in bloomfield hills mi. which is a detroit suburb and take 96e to the  southfield to almost daily, a year ago it was like a speed way and i got away with triple digit speeds daily but now state troppers with laser guns hide around shallow curves under the bridges or even on top  of them, and lets just say my valentine one didn't fair so well against a laser attach, WATCH OUT]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[bmw122487]]></dc:creator><pubDate>May 30th 2007 2:03PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Top 10 cities in which NOT to speed]]></title><link>http://www.autoblog.com/2007/05/30/top-10-cities-in-which-not-to-speed/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.autoblog.com/2007/05/30/top-10-cities-in-which-not-to-speed/</guid><description><![CDATA[Nashville?, Nashville? There is no such thing as a speed limit in Nashville.

Try living there with out of state plates.  Three tickets in a month, man.  Two of them for doing no more than 5 MPH over.  And one of THOSE had the fine doubled because Nashville's finest noticed a lone traffic barrel in the distance, up along the side of the road.
