I travel on 301 going into Georgia for many years but I mostly used my own car with the FL plate. But since I have been unemployed, I couldn’t fix my car when it broke down and I had to borrow a car from my family with a Georgia plate.

It’s true they target out of state plates, because the first time I drove through Lawtey with my family’s Georgia plate car I got tagged. I have gone through there many times for the past 10 years and have never gotten tagged. It’s unfortunate it has to come at a time I’m most in need of funds just to survive, let alone pay for speeding ticket.

Both of the cities in Bradford County, Lawtey and Stark are known speed traps, I suppose that’s how they generate their revenue, not much else in these towns that can make anything worth while.

Unfortunately I had other things on my mind while going through this town and didn’t pay close attention to the changing signs like I usually do. But of course
that’s what they count on, to nab you when you are least aware. That’s a $266 pop, all in less than 15 minutes work.

I do wish there is another way to get to Jacksonville side of Florida than through these speed trap cities.
