Georgia is the worst when it comes to speeding tickets. There used to be a member here that was LEO in Georgia and sat at MM5 all the time. I always waved when I went by on the chance he was there.

I used to have a vacation home in NC, cannot even count how many times I drove from FL to NC.

I got popped once and it really pissed me off, I pulled out to pass on a 3 lane, I saw some cars coming up fast behind me so I sped up to finish the pass and get out of the way.

I got popped by a cop with a laser in the bushes. Cop was all excited that he nailed me and was radioing ahead. I came up on an overpass, saw the 20 cruisers waiting there. One was getting ready to pull out to chase me, I pulled off in front of him, I knew I was nailed.

He asked me why I was going so fast, I told him to finish and pass and get out of the way of the faster cars coming behind me. He did not like my answer.

Full ticket. It was just before the super speeder law passed. I was super pissed and vowed to never spend a penny in Georgia after that.

I called that stretch of I95 120 mile of hell. Many many trips through there, I stopped in North Florida for gas skipping Georgia's cheaper gas, and drove straight through the state not stopping again until I was in SC.

We used to stop in Savannah all the time on both the trip up and back, we spent many $$$ in Georgia on our trips. Not anymore.

The lost revenue was satisfying, I know the state does not give a crap.

Over the years I met quite a few people that have the same rule, no money spent in Georgia. It was good to see others share my disdain for the state and its over the top speed traps.

The law was passed to generate a lot of revenue, bend over and prepare for getting one up there dry.
