Update, HP in South Carolina is not giving out tickets and is only responding to wrecks.
That is all!

Interesting. Might prove as a decent experiment for whether monetary fines have any sort of impact on safe driving behavior. I would put my money on it not having a strong correlation.Update, HP in South Carolina is not giving out tickets and is only responding to wrecks.

print this page ,so if you DO get pulled you can be all 'nu uh, it says RIGHT here...'He said it. That's good enough for me.
Grabbing my keys now. Bye.
Official press release for this or what?
If NC does this, my commute is going to get a lot shorter.
Came through Rock Hill on my bike during 80 in a 60 and people were blowing by me like I was standing still.

True. 30+ hours some trips.more like 22 hours to 45 seconds.
Well they were nowhere to be found this evening. I drove down 485 & 77 from Highland Creek area to 77 exit 6 and had a guy in a new Avalon pass me multiple times doing 100+ and not gracefully at all. One time was easily 120 in the toll lanes, after which I said “annnnd I’m gonna watch him wreck”.NC HP is still ticketing. I've seen them chickenhawking working men every day on my morning commute since last week.
For the record, I don’t drive an avalon.Well they were nowhere to be found this evening.

I didn’t see him crash but he clearly hit the wall around 12(?), was missing 1/3 of his bumper, pulled all the way over to the right shoulder, sat there for a second, I passed by, he goes flying by me again a minute later, in and out of traffic. He pulled over again at exit 7 to walk around the car. I’m betting that thing was stolen and/or he was on something.
Other than that nut job, I felt like I was driving in ATL where the min speed was 80 vs the normal 67-70’ish on 77.
I like the irony of the first response was ”NoWay”Interesting..
They were kind of busy on I 85 at the 83. Roll off dumpster truck let his boom go up while under way. Hit the bridge. Destroyed the first support. 65-0 in about 2 feet though. Pinned under the bridge. Apparently they condemned the bridge and were beginning to take it down tonight. 85 southbound is closed and re routed down the service road.
That sounds pretty rough. Wonder if that'll happen to the can opener in Durham one day?

I screwed up once. Sucked.Just gonna leave this here...
I might have got stuck/hung up a few times, but not one time did I drive off with the boom up.
I screwed up once. Sucked.
What sucked the worse of it was that it was a can full of metal and was told didnt need to tarp it. I drove half across the parking lot and thought, "eh, itll just take a second, better safe than sorry!"
Got out of the routine. Dangit.
"According to Kudelka, a replacement bridge for SC 110 is currently being constructed under the I-85 Widening Project."
I'm guessing that part of the project might be sped up a little bit.
Not as simple as it sounds, of they aren't already at that point, though. And I don't think they are, based on recollections of my last trip through there.

I haven’t seen anything official being released on it, but I suspect that VA state troopers aren’t giving tickets either. Drove to VA Beach this weekend and I didn’t see a single car pulled over on the way there or back. People were driving like it was the Autobahn too.
In addition the "courts" that would be used to extort the revenue are closed. They're busy enough on a normal day. Imagine them trying to clear the backlog of 1,2,3 or more months of crap tickets?Rather, a more focused role in areas more suitable for actual public safety in these times.
