Don't speed in Georgia
I heard that Sonny (Governor) was supposed to sign into law some new speeding fines yesterday. They are to add $200 in fines to any speeding ticket if you get caught going over 75 mph on a 2 lane road or 85 mph on a 4 lane road. Watch it out there!

I was stopped for speedin thru GA down 'round Americus a long time ago. The officer had me follow him in to town to see the magistrate for my fine. The magistrate looked thru a chart he had, and then told me the amount of my fine. I don't remember the amount now, but I DO remember it bein ridiculously high. When I responded with, "Holy cow...that can't be right?!"...the magistrate just leaned over the bench a little and said, "If ya wanna fly thru Jawja boy, ya gotta pay the airfare." I paid that fine so fast it'd make yer head spin...and then, promptly got the hell outta town.

We just rode thru there...and, if'n I had stuck to the posted speed limit in that work zone, we'd been run smack over in a skinny minute. The closer ya get to Atlanta...the crazier folks get.

You know he did....
I'm over in Alabama just over from there; you know he did. And as for that stretch near Hogansville and on into Newnan, you better speed up or get off the interstate. You will be run slap over! I'm originally from Georgia. The state doesn't need a lottery, just cut the Atlanta area road projects in half and you can send the entire state to college!
