speeding in CA

Kim, et al.

Having driven between LA and Seattle far to many times to recall the last 
several years while I was in Law school, let me pass on a few thoughts.  The 
drive is very long and rather dull, I used to think it was fun but that 
lasted only for a couple of trips then it got real dull after that.  I do 
triple digits on the road and have never gotten a ticket in CA.  The cops 
have only in the last several years started using radar.  The CHP only gets 
it (this was true two years ago and may have changed)if it is provided by 
the local county.  And my experience is that when they have it they run with 
it on all the time.  So get yourself a very good radar detector and learn 
how to use it.  I use a valentine one and have had it pay for its self many 
times over.  Speeding on lesser highways like 1 and 101 can be tough because 
county sheriffs patrol those roads and know how to use radar.  In fact the 
only place I almost got a speeding ticket was south of Hearst Castle on 101, 
a county cop under a tree.  Speed if you want, I do, but use electronics as 
your friend.  Be wary of planes as well.  If you do get nailed it can be 
expensive, my dad got caught doing triple digits up by shasta, the ticket 
was for "95+" and over $350.  So be careful.
