Now i do speed on that road sometimes hehe but just this particular day i really wasnt. And i know on that road everyone does go about 10 mph over the limit. If you are going 45 you are going to get cut off nonstop even if your in the far right lane.

Sounds like an admission of doing about 55 in a 45 to me.

That's life man. If you're speeding and you pass a speed trap you're taking a chance of being stopped for it.

I know the deal, some times they pick the guy in the front of the pack, other times they look for a pusher in the back and then others they just pick someone in the middle just to show they can. On rare occasions they'll even patrol with multiple cars in areas where they know they can make it their while.

And yes, if you're driving a car or in my case a motorcycle that calls attention to itself you have to obey all the traffic laws or just really and I mean really pay attention to and know where the patrolled areas are.
