I've driven in CA. Between (and in) San Franciso and Fresno. I just drove really fast in the left lane. Seemed to match what most other drivers were doing.

State troopers, at least in Oregon, are mainly there for traffic.
Seems to be the trick is don't draw attention to yourself and don't push your luck. |
Re: All I want for Christmas is..
A lot of places speeding fines are a source of revenue. There was cases near me of cyclists getting tickets several years back and cars would get pulled for doing 3 miles over the limit on the freeway. it's mostly small cities with limited resources that take this approach.

What annoys me is NH. "Live free or die", my arse...there's nothing free about the 55mph interstate and the permanent collection of state cops hiding in the ditches at the bottom of the hills or with the chopper up above. |

That town, nearly all the revenue comes from speeding tickets of tourists in the summer as the speed limit dips from 45mph to 30mph on the bend, just as you go down a short hill and there's always a cop at the bottom of the dip.

The bad thing is most of the radar guns probably haven't been calibrated in years. The attorneys love these tickets aswell. Surprised an attorney's card didn't come with the ticket. Fighting a Speeding Ticket: Police Laser Gun Accuracy and Maintenance | DrivingLaws.org
