    Don't know about you but I was taught not to set your cruise in a construction zone, no matter what you're driving. I'm usually right around the limit in a construction zone, but I sure don't worry about a couple miles an hour over either, if you're busy looking at the speedometer or your GPS worrying about speed you're not paying attention to the road.

    I set it in some and manual in others.

    The one I mentioned was clear road and no surprises at any point, just road work to widen the road in that section.
    And setting the cruise makes sure you do not have to keep looking at the speedometer.

    Oahu had them back around 2000 or so but they were extremely unpopular and i think some public officials were getting caught in embarrassing predicaments so they went away. Around 2009 or so i got a mail ticket in oak ridge tn.

    Breaker breaker had a picture taker ontop the bridge over 40 in asheville today. First time ive seen that in ages.

    It happens here too with the speed limit being 60. Trucks just fly by.

    Now they've got a new section being used. And the curved lines right before that new section. Are pretty dangerous. I'm waiting for the news to say one of you tipped over. Almost happened with a triple yesterday.

    First time I took it. Almost hit the car to my left.
    It's a sharp right then left. And isn't quite long enough to accomodate a semi.

    Camera tickets go to the registered owner of the car, not necessarily the driver.

    I love the ones in school zones that get people at 3:00 AM on Saturdays. :rolleyes:
