Jim overs excellent advise.
In many states, Calif included, limit + 10 and they shouldn't bother you. HP are hunting for the guy that's limit + 20.
My booby prize goes to Fla where i was following limit + 15-20 guys from northern border to the Keys. Excluding Keys' local traps the leading bait got tagged 4 times.
If i'm not playing this chess game it's limit + 5 in the 911

I just drove from Florida up the North Carolina and back and the only place I saw any real speed traps was, as usual, Georgia.
I never saw but one on the way North in Florida and none heading back South.
Also, as usual, I26 in South and North Carolina were void of any speed traps.
I must mention I traveled at odd times in order to avoid, what I call, ameture weekend on the Interstates. I left Florida a day early (Tues.) at 3:30 in the afternoon getting me into NC at 2 in the morning with stops. The return trip I left at 3 in the afternoon, (Saturday instead of Sunday) stopped for a nice sit down Rib dinner and got to my house at 1:30 a.m.
I prefer late night driving, less LEO enforcement, less morons on the road, did I mention less moron on the road. Less chance of an accident tying up the interstate for hours on end and never recovering for 100's of miles after the tie up.
The family sleeps = less potty breaks = making time.
BTW- as always I was able to uphold my "Give Georgia no Money" rule. They are the speed trap kings and they got me once 3 years ago. Since then I make sure to fuel up in South Carolina and Florida before driving through Georgia. We stopped for dinner in SC too. So by my guesses Georgia missed out on another big chunk of money I could have spent there. That $150 ticket was the last $150 I'll ever spend there as long as I live. The loss of revenue, just from me in their state is 10 fold.
