I'll regularly cruise 100+ down the length of GA-316 when its nice and empty.. Having a nice (expensive) radar detector helps.

Knowing the road, and where the cops hiding spots is nice, and gives you an extra bit of comfort.

One thing I've discovered is to never speed "mildly", if a cop going the other way has time to turn around and catch up before you can disappear off an exit, your not going fast enough!

Check your rear mirrors and be weary of any car coming up from behind; its either a cop or a fellow speeder.

Watch the license plates of cars your coming up on, most states have a prefix or special format for police cars. Here in GA its GV-.

DO NOT get distracted by your cell phone!

This is coming from someone who has AVERAGED 100+ for almost every highway trip I've ever been on (about 4/week 40+ miles, 1/month 200+ miles), and has only 1 ticket from being distracted by a cell phone and passed a cop car...

Best time ever: UGA to LSU in 5:45. approx 625 miles.
