I'd say it's very low.

I've been cited a couple times in the last 26 years.
I was ALWAYS speeding.

In fact, I don't know anyone that has been falsely accused of speeding.
I think it's rare, given that speeding is so common.

The speed limit in front of my place, out here in the country, just dropped from 55 to 45.
They have hung bright colored streamers from the new signs to get driver's attention, starting about a month ago.
Yesterday they had one of those, "your speed is", radar trailers in place.

The CHPs are going to have a field day.
I'm OK with that, because people drive by at 100-135 mph all the time ( every day ).

I'll try to get a shot a CHP using my driveway as a speed trap.
( I gave them permission and encourage it )

Dude,, 100-135 in NAPA ?? I'm calling BS!!! I'm totally with you on residential areas where kids and dogs are around.. My issue is speed traps where the limit may be 55-65 but it could be safe to go 90 (like across the desert)..

What are you doing with all of the krispy cream wrappers those guys throw out their windows onto your lawn??
