US Highway 301
Speed limit on this part of US301 changes frequently and unnecessarily. The cops will hide somewhere and point their laser gun right at where the speed limit post is. I was traveling south and I have no idea about what speedtrap is. In order to catch time I was driving about 8 miles above speed limit, which is totally OK in my home state. First I was in 65mph zone, I released my gas when I saw the 55mph post. I didn’t get the chance to put my feet on gas again before I saw the 45mph post. I thought it is OK to just reduce the speed without using brake. But I was wrong. I saw about 100 yard in front of me turned on its lights, I though it was the car before me that didn’t get luck. Unfortunately it was me. So for sure the cop was pointing his laser right at where the speed post is. My opinion is obey the speed limit at this cursed place strictly to avoid being robbed by the cops. The cops here don’t care about safety. They only care about money. As this town receives more than 70% of its money from traffic ticket. Shame on them. I heard about a bypass will be constructed by the year of 2010. The government there will bankrupt after the building of this bypass. I am so expecting.
