    :laughing-guffaw:Ain’t that right! I went to traffic school once. Everybody there stated why. All these sweet innocent little voices in the back would say things like; 115mph on i10….120mph on i5 in San Clemente…
    They got traffic school? They would have thrown me in jail!

    Back in my younger dumber days I got clocked doing 105moh on 80 in Roseville on my motorcycle at 03:00 . There was not a chance I was doing anything over 104mph. I got traffic school and that ticket never showed up on my MVR, that was my lucky break never again, well almost never.

    I got nailed doing 85 in a 55 on Business 80 in Sacramento in 1994. Speeding tickets are kind of like savings bonds. The longer you hold on to them and not do anything, the greater they mature. Finally got arrested in February 1996. Fines were $650 for failure to appear. They had to dismiss the ticket because the cop retired and moved. I told them I would just stay in jail until it was paid. 10 days. 2 days later they kicked me out to make room for the weekenders.

    To those claiming 70 - I ran that I-5 ####show for two years straight and those doing above 65 weren’t doing it for long.

    No. Single truck leased to a 5 truck carrier. I do Laredo to CA to Houston triangle. I meant I only do that part when I’m in CA.

    Ag gotcha, more power to you. That stretch of I-10 between Phoenix and LA makes my guts churn.
