Related: About this forumI drove past a cop on the highway today doing 70 and everything was fine.
I didn't get pulled over or anything. I think a sky-being might have been protecting me, or maybe not. How about you?

(195 posts)In Oregon the speed limit is 65, the head of the state troopers has publicly stated that they will give anyone 10 MPH since speedometers can be that far off as long as they are not dodging in and out of traffic... BUT if they stop you and you have a radar detector on board they will tag you..I drive it a lot and have never been given a second look at 70 or so...
