As someone who's driven through Iowa quite a bit: Yeah, it's a whole lot easier to speed there than Ohio. :huh:
I'd be curious to know where the tickets were issued. I doubt there are too many folks doing more than 85-90. The average driver is nowhere near that competent.

Yeah, they're everywhere. I've got my phone mounted in both vehicles and constantly run Waze. Still got popped last year.

I can attest to Delaware. Little piggies are everywhere looking for speeders.

Is Delaware where you last got popped?
In Chicago, no local cop will pull you over for speeding because they usually have actual crime to take care of. But the State Troopers are littered all over the highways going into/out of the city and they will poop you for everything.
The cops in the burbs are the worst though. They literally have nothing to do except for bust underage parties so they just post up and pull people over constantly.
Same story in NYC though I think there state troopers have their hands full with accidents
A black 5th gen Camaro blew past me at 95+ in medium-to-heavy traffic yesterday. And of course it's the one day that there are no cops out. I thought about calling the cops on him, but figured they wouldn't have a chance if there wasn't a car in position already. Dude got way to close to my bumper as he swerved through traffic. I wouldn't have been surprised if I passed him smashed into the wall a few miles ahead.

He probably had a GoPro on and streamed it on BoobTube.
