He will get you going into town or coming out of town. Going out of town is a hill so you will automatically pick up speed. Going into town is hard to make the climb of the hill without giving a little gas . ( Impossible situation ) He always says you are speeding 10 miles over, whether you are or are not .

Local officer stations his vehicle by highway speed sign just outside town (open country area) and if you resume speed when you see the sign instead of after you pass the sign; he “flashes”” his radar and gives you a ticket for at least 10 mph over speed limit whether your doing that or not. “
