Did the same thing yesterday, looked in my rearview when I was doing almost 80 (keep in mind maximum MA speed limit is 65) in the left lane and saw a statie nearly on my bumper. Pulled into the middle lane and he passed me.

At least you guys get pulled over for a reason.... The only time I ever got pulled over was on the way to my ex-gf's place at 1:00 am and the officer claimed I was crossing the center line repeatedly, yet I wasn't and I was going the exact speed limit (cruise on). What a witch she was. I think she thought I was drunk because I was driving so perfectly.... Hah!

Assuming that the speed limit was 70... 8 miles an hour over is not "blew" or blowing by anything  State boys have better things to do then pull over escort look alikes doing 8 over the speed limit.
Umm ok. You go try it. I've received tickets for less.

I've been flashed twice by the same camera on both sides of a highway over near Stuttgart.
I noticed my front plate is pretty loose, so maybe the wind catches it at speed and turns it down toward the road... Or maybe it takes more than 5 weeks to mail a ticket?

I havent had a ticket in over a year. That was for lightin the tires up in the city parking lot here (where the "hang out" is)  Luckly those don't go on insurance records. I got a speeding ticket before that going 15 over in a 50, cost me about 80 iirc. After one time after the squeeling tires I learned to keep it cool. I seen an old friend from high school going the opposite direction as me, and I was gonna try to catch her to talk to her say hi, and I wipped into the ford dealer's parking lot flew down the side of the parking lot behind some cars and turned out of there and I floored it going down the road and out of the blue a cop goin in the opposite direction seen me accelerating fast and did a U-turn and followed me close by until 1/4 mile down the road and turned into a gas station. Another close call I had (this one was awkward) I was taking the g/f home one night a little over half way there I seen a cop in a parking lot and I was going either the speed limit or 5 over the cop pulls out casually, starts to follow then got close we went over rail road tracks and backed off and the limit changed to 35 I get up to 35 cop still on my butt, we get all the way to her house while we were sayin good-bye the cop sits blocking her driveway and sat there for like 3 minutes. I drove around for a while to find the cop again and followed him and he turned on a road making a right on red and turned into the Dairy Queen so I didn't attempt to go that way.
