The new “LIDAR” or laser radar is hard to beat.

However, I got a cop to tell me it was spelled “Lie Dar” with a laugh.

That was all I needed, the prosecutor dropped the case against me.

(I drive 30,000 miles a year. I try to follow the law, but speed traps, where the speed limit drops and then goes up again, for no apparent reason, really bother me.)

I haven’t looked at the list yet, but I would nominate Madison Co. Fl. They are on the I-10 corridor and reap huge tickets and drugs.

I vote for Chandler, TX about 8 miles SW of Tyler in NE TX on SH31.

In some of these cities it’s more about traffic cameras than about speed traps. They’re more likely to catch people who go through red lights or fail to stop at stop signs than those who are exceeding the speed limit.

I will add:

Vider, tx; a legendary speedtrap well known throughout the South

McClintock, tx bad

$ealy, tx. So bad that many of the people who live in the surrounding area go to other nearby towns to shop. I have bought nothing in sealy for at least 10 years becuase of the speed traps. They have high ticket collection revenues, they but have lost 10 times or 20 times that in sales taxes. Many millions of dollars have been lost because many of the people who refuse to shop there are ranchers who drop 20,000 oe 30,000 on equipment when they go to shop. Really bad management.

As I told one store owner “customer service begins at the city limits”.

If someone’s speeding in the first place, I’ve never understood how it can be a “trap.”

I would have guessed that one of the top 10 would have been in Georgia. On our last trip to FL we hardly even saw a State Trooper or a Cruiser until we crossed into GA, where they were wall-to-wall, and were writing tickets like there was no tomorrow! And when we crossed into Florida, you could hear the crickets once again.

Colorado Springs at number 9? That’s a laugh. Maybe at number 99, but not 9.

I lived there for more than 20 years, no speed traps, no undue pressure on motorists.

I suspect a ‘gay’ influence to the list. Gays hate Colorado Springs.

I would have to nominate Fraser, MI as the #1 speed trap city based on its small size and the number of cops out with radar......

I drive thru it so often that I can almost predict where the cops will be at any given time of the day.......

East Lansing, Michigan has to be on the list, followed by Redford, Novi, and Farmington Hills in that order.
