behind bridges and stuff

greentea335i · 02-05-2008, 07:50 PM

just DONT SPEED?????

Watch out between Harris Ranch and Kettleman City, about a 20 mile stretch, that's where I always got pulled over until I learned better...

Harris Ranch. And Coalinga county. Going down the Grapevine. All hot spots. Honestly there are CHP littered throughout most of the way. You should definitely have a radar detector for this trip. The one time I got a ticket, got a radar ticket in another car that had no detector. Cop was cool though and wrote a low speed so I could take traffic school... but they'll be out there and you'll run across several.

101 South between Thousand Oaks and Woodland Hills. Have seen 4 All-White California Highway Patrol units on the side with cars pulled over... all within 10 days.

what like random pulling you over or over speeding, no turn signal,..n such??

why not just drive at limited speed?

stooken · 02-06-2008, 02:37 PM

if you're gonna weave through traffic or drive fast, do so in the far right lanes. that way it just looks like you're driving along with the flow of traffic. of course, don't go too crazy and run people off the road.

speeding in the carpool lane is just stupid. that's like holding a sign saying "please catch me".

So, I don't know about you but driving 65 from Berkeley to San Diego does not sound very practical in a 300 hp car. Dunno, maybe its just me...

Definitely the NorCal Stretch. From LA to SD, the CHP is a lot looser.

simpleE92 · 02-07-2008, 12:53 PM

grapevine, kettleman city right when u hit the 580 from the 5 and always look at bridges i honestly make the drive from the bay to oc and back atleast 10-15 times a year total and if u cruise at 70-75 ur good

creativeautoworks · 02-07-2008, 02:01 PM

they're always hidden everywhere. Good Luck to you.

be particularly careful on the 5 freeway

cops on the opposite side of the road WILL u-turn and come after you quick. they keep going in circles so watch for those.
