Sounds about right to me...I live in a major urban area, and the speed limit is between 35 and 40 mph on roads (not counting residential streets)...in all of the surrounding cities. Here in Palo Alto, there are exactly two streets where the speed limit's not 25 mph. Both of those roads are 35mph, and one of them should be 40mph and the other should be 45mph.

And, you guessed it, the city streets are infested with black & whites with radar guns and itchy trigger fingers.

I've only gotten one ticket in my life, and it actually wasn't for speeding (even though I typically disagree with the limits, I anally follow them 'cause I can't afford a ticket)...it was for running a stop sign. Problem is I know for a fact that I did stop, but I have no way of proving it, and I'm pretty sure that the cop had both of those facts in mind when he pulled me over.

I used to respect LEO's, but that respect has been eroded over the past few years and replaced with stark fear...the fear's bad enough that, if I lived in a small town, I'd think about turning my license in...
