>>>It is quite amazing to me that I have not had a ticket of any kind in nearly 20 years. I had plenty before that, and there were plenty more times I could have been caught and wasn't. Maybe it has something to do with no longer driving Corvettes....

>>It's been about 15 years for me. Not that I haven't been stopped, but I've usually managed to talk my way out of it. <g> I haven't even been stopped in about 5 years, and I've been driving 'Vettes for 4 of those. Must be some other reason...

>Maybe you guys don't have as many of those bloody speed cameras as we have. I got a 42 in a 30 just last June - my first in over 10 years!

They're just starting to come into use (at least out here in Arizona) for speed traps. They have been used in low speed (like your example) residential areas, but are just now being used on the freeways. They're mainly used for areas where red-light running is prevalent.

And even in the areas that have them, they don't always have cameras in them. They have a limited number of cameras, and they're rotated between the sites periodically, or they're in mobile vans. They like to keep you guessing. ;)
