Major bummer. Remind me to avoid it. And I drive a Prius! Well, it is a weird car, and they may decide to harass it just cause it is weird. Nope, don't think I need to go through Tennessee any time soon. Going to the East Coast next summer (MythCon in New Britain, CT), but I can avoid Tennessee going from Denver (Worldcon) to CT. Now I have a better reason.
Lady, grant me the serenity to accept what I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference.
If we shut down tourism for every speed trap, though, we would never go anywhere. For example, Taliaferro (Tolliver) County is right on I-20 and US 278, as well as several Georgia state routes.
The best thing you can do is register it on the Speed Trap exchange sites and check for speed traps before you travel. Route around them.
Yeah, in this case it's an interesting enough highway that "routing around" means taking your tourism to NC for similarly fun roads, I guess.
Unfortunately, traffic tickets are rarely more than a "gotcha" tax unless it's a ticket after a wreck. Or unless it's a DUI. Notice I said *rarely*.
I recently hit someone's big hot buttons with this subject, so if anyone reading has that issue, I've heard it all. No need to repeat it to me.
Traffic tickets are a tax--a particularly unfair one. It's one of those things we cannot change.
