LOL! They always have been strict on 75. You don't speed in Georgia, that I know.

Funny story, told to me by a friend in college, about a friend of his (so I wasn't there...) --

Bunch of white northern college guys are driving down to Florida for spring break in a VW Rabbit or Jetta with NY plates, get stopped by a local in Georgia for speeding.

Cop leans in window and says, "NOBODY does eighty miles an hour in MY county."

Wiseguy in back pipes up, "Sherman did!"

Everyone spent a night in jail while "their identities could be confirmed."

Yup They are quite a few counties in GA that have speed traps along I-75. Crisp, Peach, Monroe, Henry, Clayton and Fulton Counties to name a few of the predominant ones. I normally try to stay 5 mph over and they don't bother me. School Zones however there is Zero Tolerance and most will zap you at 2 mph over, which is very understandable in my book.

The Danish way to handle that problem:

Thought it best not to post the uncensored version, though it's on Youtube as well.
