You just need to know where and when to drive over the speed limit in
Ohio. I've been a Buckeye all my life and seldom see people driving
the speed limit, especially during the morning and evening rush hours.
If you're doing the speed limit at these times you're going to get run
over<g>
I will admit our SHP can be tough. I think they like out-of-state
license plates and the truckers. When returning from out-of-state
trips I always slow down when I hit the Ohio border. They usually
don't bother you if you're less than 10 mph over the speed limit.
Anything above that and you'll probably get stopped.
My family thinks I must have a lucky charm of some sort. I've been
stopped by the local police 3 times in the last couple years for
speeding and haven't received anything more than a warning. My
daughter said if that had been her she would have had a ticket
everytime. Maybe they just give us seniors a break.

I'm not familiar with the area but I'm sure they have these speed traps
everywhere. It became so bad in a little town around here that the
residents took action to remove the police chief and his one deputy
from office. No one wanted to drive through the town or do business
with the local merchants because of the over zealous police department.
