is why it was just a warning. I immediately admitted to what I did and said I was sorry. That's most likely the reason for the warning and like I said, he was probably the nicest police
officer I've come across.

Coming home from work today I am in the work van on another stretch over here that is 45 also. The pack of cars I was in is all going faster than me and I was doing 60. It's just normal. They probably
just have better fish to fry around here and rather than give out lazy speeding tickets for extra revenue because they have actual criminals to deal with. Everybody in Florida knows about Waldo.
That's the kind of place that you don't speed in and they get huge revenue with their speed traps. If you Google "Waldo Florida" it pops up "waldo florida speed trap".
They since disbanded their city police I believe since they were taking advantage. Sounds like Georgia has the same issue but it's the whole State you have to worry about.

Good read for anybody thinking that driving at the posted speed limit is some feat that they should get a pat on the back for: http://www.sehinc.com/news/truth-abo...ained-engineer

(yep, a slow day here in Puyallup - )
