I live in WV, and the more rural the town, the more it seems they make a bundle off speed traps.

There's the way it oughta be, and there's the way it is...

You haven't been through some parts of North Central Florida lately. Kind of like West Virginia, without the hills.

Watch out for Wisconsin too.

Those folks charge $297 and change for about 14 over. It's a total cash cow.

I asked the cop when I got yanked, if that was the standard out of town rate and he said to me, well, if it were only 10-12 over, it'd be about $175.00.

I said, why so much, and he said, well, you folks in IL have tolls. I said, what if I gave you .50? He wasn't amused as he handed me the ticket, which I had to pay on the spot with a credit card.

Granted I was speeding (not while towing), but still felt it was a little steep for 14 over.
