So now he said that if you are caught going 10 mph over the speed limit he's going to automatically suspend your license for 10 days. If you're caught doing 20 mph over, automatic 30 days suspension. CHPs are now watching for speeders on HWY 4 in the Bay Point/Pittsburg area as well. Be very careful out there everyone.
My heart was going after that one.

I've got a better idea. Instead of investing in radar detectors, laser detectors, jammers, radar absorbent coatings, taking your car to Lockhead skunkworks, etc., how about just slowing down. What a novel idea. It's cheaper. And you might just save money on gas and save a few lives.
Remember, the MAXIMUM speed limit in California is 65 MPH (22349(a) VC). Unless it's posted higher, such as I-5 at 70 MPH (22356(b) VC). The officer only has to prove 66 or greater to get a guilty charge.
If it pouring rain, we can establish a speed limit at whatever we think is safe. 65 no longer is the speed limit, yet it is still the MAXIMUM speed limit. If it's wet, raining and reduced visibility, maybe i've determined a safe speed limit of 40 MPH. If I pace someone at 55, I can still write a speeding ticket for 22350 VC.
But then again, my fellow coworkers need something to do. Even if I get all my G35 counterparts to slow down, there will still be plenty of other speeders. Let your conscience be your guide. Drive safely.

Damn that car. It's all white with the most streamline light bar on the top that is hard to see from far away even in broad daylight.
