<VV> 25 over

[Joe Robbins]

I found out last week that Indiana will give you a $106 award for 15 over.
My cruise control was set higher, glad the speedo was wrong. <g>

Hey  Rich,

Having two homes, in Wyoming and Colorado, and Wyoming plates  gives me the 
extra exposure. I have been ticketed, both times for 10 over when  I was
doing 
more than that, and let off with a warning on 3-4 others, I think  because
I'm 
a nice, respectful and polite guy.  Both times the cop gave  me the envelope

and I went on my merry way.

Meanwhile, it is easy to  see why the cops give you such preferential 
treatment. 25 over is handled as a  felony in more states than just Colorado
and not 
just in a school zone. I will  clue you in that if you get caught doing 41
in 
my grandson's school zone, just  be happy it is a cop and not me or my 
neighbors that caught you. We give SOL  lessons. I'm hard pressed to believe
you'd 
admit to that!

Did not happen to me but know guys that they did nail at 2-4 AM. they used  
it as a trap when I live just outside of Cannon City, the school zone was 15
on 
 HWY. 50 and it dropped from 50 to 15 right now. They sat one block from the

sign  and made a killing at night.
I did have a state cop that hated my 61 F--- Econoline PU and pull me over  
every time he saw me, once he was going the other way on 50 which was
divided  
and turned around and said I had a cracked tail light LOL. So I started to 
write  down every time he stopped me and after 18 times in 3 months I had it
out 
with  him, told him write me up and if he ever stopped me again I'd go to 
Denver and  report him. He just got in his car and never stopped me again.
 Plus another one stopped me for going 61 in a 60 , if I had out of  state 
plates he would have written he up and this was late at night a mile from
home. 
Other then Colorado I've only been stopped 3 other times in 40 years twice  
in NY and once in TX.
