A local Highway patrolman said he writes 300 tickets a day...

Highly questionable. 24 hrs x 60 min = 1440 min/day.

1440min/300 tickets = 1 ticket every 4.8 minutes and presumes a 24 hour shift. In an 8 hr shift, he'd have to average well under 2 minutes per ticket.

The same response I gave to the last guy who rightfully mentioned the time element. (I never questioned it.)

This might be my fault in how I phrased the question and how he answered. Thinking back he may have meant that area rather than himself. I never thought about it. But they do have it down to an art form. There’s nothing to write down. They scan your license and the ticket prints automatically. They give you the quick options, a memorized speech of how and when to pay and how to take and pay for the course to eliminate points if you’re eligible. Or, he might have been yanking my chain. He seemed pleasant enough. And, everybody I know who drives that route has had at least one ticket. (My former boss goes miles out of his way to the interstate as he always wants to go fast and they stop you here for 7 miles over.)
