Between Bastrop and smithville

Bastrop, TexasApr 09, 20180 Comments

I just averted three collisions generated by people moving to the passing lane for 11, yes 11, county vehicles pulling over vehicles. In one case the sheriff almost hit me pulling in front of me, gunning the engine, and then slamming in the break behind a driver who slowed down to 45 MPH. The sheriff then pulled that car over. I vehemently support Texas police but I am so ashamed of these officers behavior tonight who recklessly endangered the lives of drivers.

When coming into the town of Smithville, Tx off Hwy 71, The speed limit changes 3 times. If you are decelerating and don’t actually hit your brakes, the city cops will stop you soon as you pass the next speed limit sign.

State Highway 71 near State Route 71

I was traveling eastbound on Highway 71 in a fairly rural area. There were at least 4 patrol cars pulling cars as fast as they could. I saw the patrol car at least a quarter mile ahead of me on the shoulder of the road. I checked my speed and was shocked when he turned on his lights and pulled me as well as the vehicle in front of me. I was extremely disappointed he was less than honest in saying he had clocked me at 75 in a 65. His reasoning was that the car in front of me was 79 and I was following him. Since he had a rather curt attitude I limited my conversation. Be forewarned – this is a one horse town that thrives on revenue from Austin and Houston travelers, and I’ve heard from coworkers since telling my story they too have had some bad experiences along 71 and 290, often with stories of being pulled over for trumped up reasons other than speeding. My advice is to stay on I-10 unless absolutley necessary and then try to travel 15 mph below speed and do it in the daytime.

On 21 heading into Bastrop where it meets up with 150. Local PD and State Troopers use k & ka-band instant on radar. They sit in the turn arounds that joins each side of 21 together. This is the part of 21 that goes through the cypress trees. Very Sneaky, so watch out. Also there are a few motorcycle cops running ka-band which makes it even harder to spot. Speed limit is 60 mph….
