Driving from Denver to College Station I take Highway 287 from the panhandle to I-35w north of Ft. Worth, its about 300 miles. While i was on 287 from Amarillo to Decator i swear to god there were more State Troopers working traffic than i have ever seen. My radar detector went off just about every 30-40 miles with no false alarms. they never got me but there were 3 times that people passed me and sure enough a few miles down the road they were busted.

Oh and the speed limits down there suck. 70 daytime, 65 at night? thats totally stupid.

Better than 55 and 65, the highest limit on the two major interstates near me.

its 75 in colorado 24 hours a day....

Same here in ND.

What is so stupid about that? Is 70mph unreasonable??? Hell of a lot better than 55 in some parts of the country and 60 or 65 in other parts. Then the suggested speed limit is 65 at night, and you bitch about that? Do you really think it is safer to drive faster when you have less visibility?

Yeah, there is something stupid here but it is not the speed limits.

yea its you.

yes having a daytime/nightime speed limit is unreasonable.

arguing beyond this statement is pointless...

If you were taking highway 6, pretty sure that was Hitchcock, Tx...everytime we went though there, someone was always pulled over....
