Trev...

That's true...another injustice in a world full of them...

but, state troopers and counties are usually far apart (trooper can be up 
to 40 miles apart, I think and are usually at least 5 miles apart...this 
gives you a couple of minutes).  You just have to keep your eys open.

Tim.

P.S.  I only do this late at night, and when I'm alone.  I don't promote 
unsafe driving.  Driving at over 100 should be done with great care and 
at a time of day where there is less traffic, less younger people and ...
:) less cops.

Don't jeopordize the life of someone you love.

Tim
