It wasn't so bad, just fortunate it didn't cost me more.

Suit yourself, but I'd rather just pay the fine rather than get cocked by a random trooper in the middle of nowhere....

Came across those signs decades ago in New Mexico. That’s a broke dick state and assumed it was just a bluff. Never received a ticket.

Av gas is $7.39/gal. here at BTR unless this is bad data.

State Police would get it at wholesale price likely but planes are expensive and pilots even more $$$ .

Didn't Roemer sell all the state planes ?

Very real. Was on a roadtrip with my parents one time in the 80's when my dad didn't believe it, and got pulled over several miles down the road.

I want to say it was in Alabama, maybe....

I think they may still have signs on the Causeway bridge that say speed monitored by aircraft
