Absolutely not, and he never asked me to, but he made sure that he checked out everything that could be seen without a search warrant. I watched his eyes, he was all over that truck...

Silly question. How does a cop know that a headlight is burned out in the middle of the day? Do you guys have to drive with the headlights on up there even in daytime?

Valid question. It's not the law, I was on a road trip. Lights on for safety!

That's what you get for obeying a courtesy advisory...

No good deed goes unpunished.

In what the authorities have deemed "safety corridors", yes. Lights on & fines doubled. One of the tickets given can be running without lights on in a safety corridor. But the real revenue enhancement is speeding.

The one closest to me is between I-5 and Corvallis...4 lane road that invites going over the 55 limit.

I did not know that!

they will have a white & black sign telling you - those B&W signs are regulatory - ticket if disobeyed

in contrast, yellow signs are advisory - cop might still be able to ticket

ORS 811.483 - Safety corridors

this is all OT but...

The use of elevated traffic fines, and specifically doubling of applicable traffic fines under certain conditions, is widely used in Oregon as a speed control measure. Double fines have applied to “safety corridors” in Oregon since 1999. Double fine signing in safety corridors has been used on a trial basis in two locations. While safety advocates promote the use of signing to alert drivers of double fines, there has been little if any compelling evidence produced to date that it is effective in crash reduction. This research effort is based on a telephone survey of 651 adult Oregon drivers, who were asked about their decision to speed in a variety of different situations, to determine whether their judgments differed from one situation to another. The results were used to infer indirectly whether double fine signing was influencing their judgments. The analysis of the survey results showed that when considering safety corridors, people do not report the same elevated perception of crash risk that they report for work zones and school zones. They also do not have the same elevated perception of citation or fine risk. If it is recommended that double fine signing in safety corridors be retained, the report concludes that other countermeasure enhancements should also be considered to achieve more effective speed control in safety corridors.


Abstract of Jones report to ODOT & FHA

where is all this speeding enforcement going on in oregon?

i am always 5mph over there, and get passed all the time by LEO. neither car has a front plate on the bumper, the 911 doesnt even need one...state issued collector plates they only give you one here. and they have never hasseled me once.

i even pump my own gas half the time i'm not able to get to a station north, south, or east of your fine socialist state.

This just came up for me today. :mad:

Driving by the local college, known to party hard with many kids headed for the river to tube while drunk. Therefore many police. Knew that, so not speeding, but completely forgot about the front plate because it has not been a problem. While stopped, 3 other cars went by without front plates, and a bunch of cars with folks holding on through the windows to their inflated tubes outside the cars:rolleyes:

Obviously, I was a one of a kind dangerous offender.

You know there isn't even a place to put the plate on the GT3 without damaging the bumper cap since the curve of the cap means the plate will be rubbing it constantly. Anybody try that do-hicky from the OP?

Freeking Kali.

Clearly, you looked like revenue, whereas the kids...


Anyway, AFAICT that device should work great with the smooth underside of a 997. (easy install)
