Default Indiana warning

Cross country driving can be expensive - this Indiana officer just told me to slow down! Yes, sir!

...If you were in east central Indiana on I-70, it might have been my future son in law.....he is a Vette fan....

...several months ago he clocked me doing 62 in a 65 zone.....laughed at me for days, said I was apparently too old to still be driving a Vette if I couldn't push the pedal down far enough to get up to 65.....

Indiana's interstate speed limit has been raised from 65-70 as soon as they can get the signs changed. But they are going to be strict about going over the 70!!!

I work with a trooper's wife and he said they are going to be tough on the interstates!

I took that photo after this one, while he was checking out my registration! It was on I-70 in east central IN about May 24th.

I live in east Central Indiana - New Castle, it is on I-70 about 30 miles east of Indianapolis. Do you know what the Troopers name was? I know about 4 or 5 that patrol this area. You got lucky....most of them always write tickets. I can drive 85 in my wifes Explorer on I-70 and never get a look, but get the VR C6 out there doing 75 and you had better watch out! That is a great picture....good thing he didn't see you snapping glamour shots!
