I dont even worry about radar/laser/speed traps, etc....I keep it within 5 mph of the posted speed limit...have been driving 30 years that way and have NEVER had a speeding ticket...there is no law stating how fast you can get to a speed limit....so I am "***** out" until I get there....then let off....just the way I drive...I could probably stretch it to 10 mph over but I dont want to chance it. I'm never in that big of a hurry to get where I'm going.

Meh I beg to differ on that one. It really comes down the to officers discretion about if they consider it reckless driving or not.

a few things...
1. the new lights look good
2. if looks like you may need some new tires (another reason to get pulled over)
3. to the comments about taillights - if you have a taillight on a vehicle it must be visible and operational. for example: a light bar across the tailgate does not negate the taillights on your truck unless you remove them completely (also the light bar must comply w/ local regs)
4. license plate frames (regular) are illegal in AZ if they cover the word "Arizona" on the plate.

ok, that is all :-)
