We left Cary, North Carolina a few days ago for a drive down I-95 to Florida. Normally on this route, we see Highway Patrol cars and sheriff cars keeping an eye out for speeders. We like seeing them as it helps us feel safer. We rarely go more than 10% above the speed limit so we don’t worry about getting caught speeding.
On this trip, we didn’t see a single patrol car until a few miles from the Florida line. That’s never happened before, especially near a holiday when there was a lot of traffic.
So what happened without the presence of the police? Did drivers behave? No! It was a zoo. We would be going about 77 mph and a car would zoom past us going at least 100 mph. Cars were cutting in and out of lanes. It felt more like a NASCAR race than a trip on I-95.
We’re hoping that on our return trip to North Carolina we’ll see many police cars checking speeds with their radar.
