In the beginiong of the first cannon ball run movie, when they are all gathered up at the hotel getting ready to start the race, they say something that still holds true today, 30 years later.

"Look on the good side, not one of the 50 states, has the death penalty for speeding... although, we are not quite sure about Ohio"


Truckers call the Ohio state highway patrol... freeway natzis

The speed limit is 65, and the staties WILL remind you with a piece of paper you get to sign.

The price of the ticket goes up by 60% IIRC when you hig the frankline county line (Columbus county) and I'm sure the other major citys are about the same.


The highway patrol cars, most are white now, but they still have some of the dark charchol gray ones, and most all of them are crown vics, with the 'very hard to see when not lit up' LED light bar on top. They have a hand full of Tahoes, and I recently saw a Dodge charger.



Just a heads up guys. Lets be safe, and yes, Ohio is a click it or Tickit state, and I have been pulled over more than once in the last few months becouse they couldn't see my seatbelt (lap belt) .... and TRUST ME... if a femail cop pulls up beside you and pulls on her seatbelt while lookin at you... do not.... I REPEAT... DO NOT point into your lap and smile... you WILL get pulled over. If anyone doesn't get what happened... ask me about it saturday. :haha:

:rolleyes: :cool: :hmm: I'm asking in the morning :lol: :lol: Hope she was not too hard on you!!

He said hard on in replay to that post?.......... :cong:

Lol!

Very true I drive my truck through ohio all the time. The speed limit is 55 for trucks and we call it the communist state. I've seen more smokie bears in ohio than anywhere.:alc:

My drivers haul out of Heath 2-3 times a week (Our sister pant is there)
and all they do is b!tch about OH, then they get to TN and just fly :lol:

And they like to use the "LASER" too IIRC.....

The only place my Pop hated worse than Ohio was Atlanta.

It's not THAT bad here...

You just have to know where to 'not be AS careful about your speeds'

Have fun this weekend - wish I could be there...

I see that you're in Toledo, I remember the I-75N speedway to Detroit!!!! Of course that's leaving Ohio....That was a fun stretch of road, 4-5 lanes and everyone did 75+mph.

Didn't see too many smokies on the way back, but they were all over last week when we were headin out.
