Pickett Road near State Highway Lee
Pretty much a cop is just parked at one of the left turns late at night, and just sits there waiting for you. I got caught supposedly doing 53 in a 35, going downhill after a huge hill, with no other traffic around me for miles. I am also 16, and got a ticket for being out after 12:00, which is curfew, but the guy clearly pulled me over at 11:50, and lied on the ticket.
BTW: This entire road is very hot, cops around there a lot. Don’t be a fool and fall for that. Usually during the day it’s no problem, but at night, just watch out.
