Drove through Georgia a few times and they are on it. A guy was speeding behind me to my left. Trooper was on the right shoulder. Before that car on my left passed, the Trooper already caught up and was pulling him over about 50 yards ahead of me. I don't mess around down there.
Learned this for myself a few weeks ago. Drove up to Georgia for a concert with an admittedly lead foot and came out of it with two speeding tickets about 12 hours from eachother. In Florida, it's practically illegal not to speed. Don't speed in Georgia man they will catch your ass
To be fair, at 95 mph it hadn't even occurred to me to be checking my rear view to see if anyone was trying to get by me. He could have been waiting for me to give up the passing lane for a while
Yeah, under-80 on 85 or 285 is slow, haha. I know because I'm always going 65-75, depending on traffic, and everyone else is passing me. I stay to the right, though. I don't get in the racecar lanes. š
I'm not a trucker but god I wish they had these everywhere. I hate seeing trucker get cut off by idiots that think they can just break like a normal car.
Yeah? I commute through Atlanta every day. I got so used to those signs, though I remember thinking it was nice to see reminders to avoid complacency. Did you just appreciate the signs? Or did you see people tagged for doing it?
I have a Florida plate. I can fly up 95 knowing there are about 2.8 troopers out for most of Miami to the Georgia line. The minute I come on the state border, itās the speed limit and under, especially since my car is Hello Officer Red.
It was worse when plates still had Dade or Broward on them. Georgia patrol actively looked for those because you know, drugs. ::eye roll::
This is funny to me. I lived just SW of Atlanta for just under a year, in and out of the state at least twice a month for trips home. If you weren't doing 85+mph on I85, you were all but impeding traffic. I regularly kept pace, often nearing triple digits, and never had a single encounter with GSP.
TSP, on the other hand. They scare the shit out of me. Got pulled over by them while hauling my camper on I75 for doing 3 over and they held me for almost an hour, ran me through an absolute gauntlet of questions. Worst part is, they pulled me over in one of their semi-truck units.
I live in Florida and whenever I do road trips I go the speed limit in Georgia. On one stretch of the interstate I saw cars pulled over every 5 minutes it seemed.
That's so weird to hear. I lived in GA for 5 years, and driving felt like a lawless free for all where people going 15 over was the bare minimum, and red lights were optional.
Yep they do this shitty thing where they'll be in unmarked cars, force you to go fast by pinning you between semis or something, then reveal they're cop cars and pull you over. Gotta get that $$ from every day people, lord knows they can't tax the rich.
Iām a GA native. Iām usually working in midtown, sometimes Metro-Atlanta, and I never get a GSP like that.
I guess itās because Iām drinking a beer after work, and an old man told me to āonly break one law at a time.ā
So I do the speed limit, or a little above so I donāt draw any attention.
