I've found Mountain City, just south of Dillard to be sneaky! They like to hide on the blind side of a building. You never see them, till you have pasted the structure. Nice stretch of flat road, let's them keep an eye on you, and gives them plenty of time to get the Crown Vic scootin'.

Also see Rabun County S.O., run a lot of roadblocks leaving Clayton, heading to the gorge. Not so much DUI's any longer, as much as looking for moving meth labs. MS-13 are all over the place. It's disgusting. Tons of drugs now, between Clayton, and Franklin, N.C.

Going North on hiway 23 on outskirts of Cochran, Ga. Speed limit is set at 45. 15 ft across the road in other lane, going South speed limit 35. Two lane hiway. South lane going into town, north lane coming out. Speed limit is supposely posted for saftey reasons, why the different in speed limit on two lane hiway? Also beware of overhead bridge at college. Police set up speed trap out of sight of south bound traffic at bottom of bridge. Works good, if you like this sort of thing. It's the store owners who lose. I won't go back to Cochran to buy anything. I'll go to surrponding towns who appreciates my business.

Add highway 72 at Colbert to the list, between Elberton and Athens. Two Madison county cars were working it today. Now if I were to blast through there at eighty miles an hour, they would have every right to catch and fine me. But when I'm going the legal speed for the highway and the cars are set up right where the speed limit drops for a tiny town, that's a speed trap to me. The folks in Danielsville are legally picking my pocket.

Right off the top of my mind:

dooly county.

valdosta

mcdonough

I20 from atlanta to alabama

kennesaw

duluth

285/75 junction in cobb county

and all those listed on hwy129 are so true it is sad.

My daughter's fiance got a speeding ticket in Tifton over Easter Weekend...the police officer told him he was clocked at 90 in a 60 mph zone while everyone in the car knew he was exceeding the speed limit, he was not going 90! 80 at the most and the ticket is for $700!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The driver dared not talk back to the officer, just took the ticket and went on his way.
