geeezz. 11 over? thats not worth a ticket, thats gay.
An instate driver could probably get away with it, but in the south they'll pull over a blue state car just cause they can. I got pulled over in Kansas once, in a rental car with NJ tags. Said I wasn't holding my lane. He didn't give me a ticket, but did insist on looking in the trunk. Guess he thought I was with the Jersy mob or something.

Yeah, I don't think they'd bother me for that in California. After that, I set my cruise control at 9 mph over the speed limits. The Louisianna trooper didn't pick on me though, because I was from out of state. He was standing in the center divider, behind trees with his speed detector, so he just nailed who ever came by. I don't think he could tell I was from out of state until he pulled me over.

I'll top you. I was on the big island of hawaii last October and got pulled over for doing 59 in 55. Yes that is not a typo... 59MPH in a 55MPH zone. Damn pigs don't even drive real cop cars, they just throw a big blue light on the roof of their personal car (Starsky & Hutch style) and pull you over. Stupid ticket was $87, just enough to not make it worth your while to fight it. The pig just says "sorry I have to ruin your vacation... you look like a nice guy, but I just have quota to fill today and you are the only guy whose been down this road all day."
wow that is one ???? up CoP, very bad luck or thats just his excuses to make u more mad
