I'm screwed.

This is very good information; it helps me decide which states to take vacations to and those not to. Higher the speeding tickets, less likely Husky will visit. And it pays to get on a smart phone network that identifies known speed traps. Why? Because if you pass through a speed trap there is a better than 50/50 chance you WILL absolutely receive a speeding ticket, no ifs, ands, or buts. On one of my many journeys I passed through a three mile stretch of road and counted TEN cop cars doing nothing but ticketing drivers. Unbelievable.

It appears to me that you are FAR more likely to receive a speeding citation while on a Federally funded Interstate Highway than on local roads and byways.........at least that has been MY experience......and for those who are unaware, a speeding citation may drive up your insurance rates. Expensive.

I'm practically invisible!

I use Waze in lieu of GPS and it's come in handy a few times. I generally set my cruise at whatever the majority of traffic is doing, usually 72ish, but a couple of my vehicles and my work trucks don't have cruise control so sometimes I get going faster than I should. The real time alerts are a good reminder.

One thing for folks who haven't used the apps before to remember, the alerts are only as good and recent as the latest user's report. More cars (and more likely more app users), the more consistent and reliable the notifications are. Fewer cars (and likely fewer app users), the more spotty the information is. Don't count on it saving your rear if it's early morning or evening and not many vehicles on the road.

10%+2mph is the magic number. If you don't want a speeding ticket, stay the **** out of my state.

While traveling the interstates, I've yet to find anything that matches the reliable real time and solid usable information that channel 19 on a CB radio provides. The truckers will give you a solid ten to fifteen mile heads up as to where Smokey the Bear is located.

I'll never forget one time my CB crackled to life with a trucker update. The trucker said to watch out for a Bear on a specific Exit number. He then went onto say that the Bear had taken the exit and was now crossing back over the highway on the overpass so that he could get back on the highway going the opposite direction. As I was listening to this valuable update on the CB, I noticed I was approaching the exit he mentioned so I looked up and sure enough, there was Smoky the Bear driving slowly over the overpass on his way to get back on the highway going the opposite direction so he could nail more unsuspecting motorists........

NJ and VT are the worst but only if you have a CT plate, like a CT boat in NY.

A VT vehicle in VT can pretty much do whatever they want, but if you have a CT plate and are 1mph over...look out!

'Cause using smartphones while speeding is a good safe practice.

How about we leave the phone off and away while driving?

I am surprised MD didn't make a list. I lived in MD several years and granted it was a long time ago but I got more tickets in one six month period than I have had in the whole rest of my life. VA was pretty tight too. I am still on my toes in PA but more so because of the drivers than the Police, GA same.

Two rules for driving in New Jersey and Maryland:

1. You cannot turn left (especially for New Jersey)
2. Wherever you want to get to, you cannot.
3. What signs? Drive by Braille, everyone else does.

4. Keep eyes on smartphone.

4. Blinkers are for wusses.
5. when someone try's to merge speed up and block them, than flip them off.

Kinda my thought... I guess that means that people are using their phones while driving to report speed traps?

2 Samuel 12:13: "David said to Nathan, “I have sinned against the Lord.” And Nathan said to David, “The Lord also has put away your sin; you shall not die."

I don't think using a GPS app on a phone with a windshield mount is any different than using a GPS. I don't text and drive or talk and drive, but I have used GPS's for years. If you want to say that GPS's are a distraction, then yes, so is a GPS app. I find it far less distracting than reading directions or a map and with a windshield mount my eyes are less off the road than when I'm checking gauges.

I'm sure some are, just as they're texting and talking. I'm just an app user, not a reporter, if I'm by myself. If the Mrs. is in the copilot seat, she does report road hazards, 5-0, stranded cars, etc. While it's no different than a GPS with real-time traffic and rerouting options, it also gives reported road hazards and weather ahead notifications.
