How to seriously hurt your modding budget (and tick off your spouse)

Yeah she wouldn't be so mad if it wasn't the second one. With two warnings in between that in the past 3 months.... Guys I'm going to have to drive exactly the limit on the way to work now. The other stops were for 5 over 6 over and 8 over.... LEOs are getting after it hard here lately..... .

They stop you for going over that small amount?  I do a lot of miles on I-35 between SAT and Austin, they won't pull you over unless you're doing 10% over the speedlimit.  77 in a 70 is what I set the cruise to and haven't had a problem in 3 years.  They seem to prefer to go after people doing more than 10% over as the ticket is much more expensive.

I always lawyer up on my tickets, keep the driving record clean.  I finally got to the point where car insurance got inexpensive, so I like to keep it that way. If that means I slip a ticket fixer a few hundred and pay a non moving violation fine then so be it.. It's like a 'speeding tax'.

Yeah small towns along US-67 are notorious for filling city coffers with traffic fines..... It's getting a bit ridiculous but nothing can be done about it. The officer that pulled me over even mentioned that if I paid there small fee and took their drivers safety course online for 25 bucks it wouldn't effect my driving record.

I got a 77 in a 60 a couple weeks ago. Fun times.

My V1 has paid for itself several times over now.  I also have waze running on my nexus 7 when I'm driving and people mark speed traps on there as well.

LOL.  I have not had a ticket since 2005.  And that one was 96 mph in a 45 mph zone.  Was test piloting out my new pulley and tune in my Yellow 03 Cobra.  Dana Beach Blvd heading towards the ocean.  The LEO was cool and wrote me for 60 in a 45.  No detector then.  Have had one ever since...
