    Oh and don't forget those low clearance signs they don't read? Ouch!

    Generalizing others is the new American bumper slogan...."Don't think, just let the words fall out"

    Cool, you've learned your lessons well.

    I-95 and US 58 in the Virginia (EMPORIA) area is very bad. Go nice and easy. Local cops patrol the interstate looking to increase revenue.

    Chesapeake Virginia on 17 and 168 is another really bad area.

    You're right about that. Virginia fines are so high they have implemented a payment program. Don't forget about 58 from 95 to 29.

    Yes. Illinois scales are a pain. They are now computerized as well to eliminate the "sympathy/human emotion" some Scale House Operators have for drivers when over axle. Even if they wanted to allow you to slide tandems and re-scale it's not an option anymore. It's in the system and not reversible.

    My dad hauled major ### when we traveled in Mexico and never got stopped.

    Speed limit was between 90-100 kph in the state of chihuahua and bumped to 110 when we crossed into Durango but we set the cruise to 130. Even at that speed we were impeding traffic lol.

    iv had a seat belt ticket in nd 20 bucks had a seat belt ticket in Washington state i think it was 250 it was a long time ago.

    many years ago i got a ticket for 3 mph over (yes my actual speed was 3mph over the limit) i was in nd. after the cop asked me if i knew why they stopped me and i said no, they asked me if i knew how fast i was driving i said i wasn't sure exactly i was just driving i wasn't really watching my speed. then she asked what the speed limit was i said i wasn't sure but i thought it was 45 she said its 40 and i was doing 43, i did a home alone impression and said omg i was going how fast (very sarcastically it just blurted out due to disbelief of getting pulled over for 3mph) she said she didn't appreciate smart ##### and wrote me a ticket it was only a few dollars. (i think it was under 5 and defiantly under 10)

    Was she a new cop? those are the worst always trying to prove themselves.
