...we've got the most balanced, professional LEOs in Texas at all levels that I've seen...I've been here since 84 and have yet to meet one who was out of line...they're a credit to the badge for the most part...and they seem to like us "clingers"...

That's been my experience as well. From Plano, Garland, and Dallas, LEO here over the years have been the utmost as professional LEO's.

Clingers?

For the most part that's true. I've been pulled over more times than i can count (Younger guy with a Sport Car). I've had no problem with any of the LEOs except for 2. 1 yelled and cussed me out for 20 min. for speeding. (i was movin pretty fast though) The other was an Itasca cop that pulled me over for doing 75 on 35. The speed limit was 70 during the day and 65 at night. the sun was going down, but you could still see it on the horizon, but he still gave me a ticket for 75 in a 65. When i asked about it he replied "it's close enough" . That town is the worst speed trap i've ever seen. I see a cop every time i drive through. But most LEOs are very respectful.

BTW, Are you aware that the "night time" limits are no longer valid after 9/1/2011? Check out the TXDot website.

Sweet! Thanks for the info Mel! I'm driving down from SA to CC tonight and that extra 5mph helps - even if it's just a little bit. :)
