>Also, there is almost NO radar used on So. Cal. highways. I don't think I've ever seen it, in fact. If they use it, it is very rare.

Yep. I drive on the 10 to Palm Springs all the time and I've never seen a speed trap! And yes, 85 is the norm and 100 isn't outrageous. You see, cops and HP here have REAL crimes to solve (car accidents, hit and runs, drug busts, murders, meth labs, school altercations, car thefts), while cops in sleepy towns in the south have little else to do besides write tickets.

I drove in Tennessee and NC for 10 years and got 12 speeding tickets (mostly defeated in court). Been in LA for 5 years, no tickets so far (knock on wood). I always drive fast but safe...no accidents ever, FYI.

One of the few things I love about SoCal.
