Thanks for the heads up, I'm currently now living in San Jose and I go around all the time, have no problems with cops yet *knocks on wood*. Saw a couple cops pulling people over on tully, right off tully, and on mclaughlin they have a couple hiding out checking speed or other infractions.

Isn't that the truth. The economy in CA is in dire need of financial help. Police are already giving warnings and issuing tickets for cars parked on side streets and neighborhoods for more than 4+ days without moving.

Thanks a lot for the warnings and heads up on the speed traps.

tell me about it.. especially red light cameras, they've put up so many around my area.


thanks for the heads up in the SJ area though. I'd often go to SJ just to cruise the santa clara strip when i was bored.. looks like ima have to be more cautious now

Sounds like more people are getting popped for front plates lately too. I've started using them again on all my cars. When I owned Porsches I would never consider displaying a front plate of course.

Carpool lanes seem to be closely watched by CHP. Sometimes I see them on foot leaning on the metering light just waiting for a violator. Ive seen them a lot on the 101 Capitol on ramp every other morning.

Just watch your speed in the beginning and end of the month. Because thats when speed traps are out there left and right as i notice. I also notice on all my speeding tickets their either beginning of the month or end. So yeah just take it easy out there. These cops have to meet their quota and they will try and bust you for ANYTHING, such as something simple as a no front plate.

well if we are going to give traps,

ALWAYS stop for pedestrians on Geary BLVD in SF because most likely they will be doing their "fake" pedestrian crossing and you will get pulled over. this is a large ticket amount and a point. Same goes for Sloat BLVD in the sunset

Stay away from Daly City unless you plan to full stop at a red light before making a legal turn. Some say no turn on red too. This goes for Milbrae too.

Dont run reds on Park Presidio on SF because there are red light cameras at every intersection.

Good info on SF, thanks. My wife had one of those chicken-****** fail to yield to ped tickets crawling through downtown San Jose intersection in heavy traffic at 0 mph last year.
