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
