kallend 2,146 #1 April 5, 2004 I'm driving from Chicago to ZHills next weekend by way of Louisville, Nashville, Chattanooga, Atlanta. Any obvious places to expect speed traps? I know Georgia south of Atlanta is usually bad.... The only sure way to survive a canopy collision is not to have one. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

panzwami 0 #3 April 5, 2004 QuoteAny obvious places to expect speed traps? I know Georgia south of Atlanta is usually bad. Yeah, right on. Watch out especially for Henry County, GA. It's probably 30 miles or so south of ATL. I recently drove from ATL to Dublin, GA (ROAMINGDZ BOOGIE!!!), and 3 of the 4 speed traps I saw were in Henry County. There was no need for the radio - the radar detector was providing more than enough musical entertainment. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bmcd308 0 #4 April 5, 2004 I am from Chattanooga, and Monteagle Mountain is notorious for speed traps. It is northwest of Chattanooga as you are coming in from Nashville. When you see the signs for the University of the South, slow down. Brent ---------------------------------- www.jumpelvis.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
EricaH 0 #5 April 5, 2004 I basically went 90+ almost the whole way there over 20 times. That said, my parents use to drive truck that way & said that Macon & some other town that has huge billboards for a carpet outlet? are the worse. Have fun. If you have a manual shift car mount eagle is a blast!! Otherwise watchout for the trucks! There is no can't. Only lack of knowledge or fear. Only you can fix your fear.

kelel01 1 #6 April 5, 2004 Macon IS bad. I got one of my speeding tickets in Macon. And I think the other place Erica's referring to is Dalton (as in Carpets of Dalton-- that's all they have there), but that shouldn't be on your way. Just don't go more than 10 over in GA. Only State Troopers can get you for going less than 10 over, and they (usually) don't put forth the effort.

Also, the GA cops seem to work in tag teams - one on the bridge with a speed gun who radios to his partner at the end of the entrance ramp. Watch your speed at every bridge - I forgot to once and they got me. $150 for 87 in a 65. BTW - there was a good deal of construction south of Macon._________________________________________ you can burn the land and boil the sea, but you can't take the sky from me....
