FYI - Some of you may remember that last year, Walton County hired six additional officers to handle traffic, ie - speeding. They have not been out in full force until yesterday, and the blue lights have been flashing non-stop since then. I guess they are preparing for Spring Break. Take special note on hwy 98 where the speed limits change from 65mph -> 55 -> 45. This is where they have been today (in front of CoCo's / USPS strip mall). They will also be on 30A, so don't say that you had no idea, when you see the blue lights flashing in your rear view mirror. ;-)

Obviously, either you do not live here, or you are one of the people racing everywhere you go around here. I don't wish for anyone to get a ticket. I wish for people not to drive so fast that they put other drivers at high risk for injury, like my friend Josi, who is now sitting in a wheelchair, thanks to a speeder running a redlight. I see the craziness everyday, Beemn.;-)

And don't get me started on all the pickup trucks with nascar stickers. :roll: They drive like the green flag was just dropped at Talledega. :pissed:

Sounds like you've been on I-85 southbound during rush hour headed towards Coweta County. No matter how fast I drive, I have a pickup truck driving up my a$$. Oooooh! Sexy!

On the serious side, thanks for the warnings about SoWal smokies. Today we did see many more of them than in the past.

If everyone would just slow down a wee bit...

FYI - I passed three officers on Mack Bayou yesterday.
