AZ "Wasting finite resources" $47.60 no points... Posted by Mike Lynch [Email] (#81) [Profile/Gallery] (more from Mike Lynch) on Thu, 21 Jul 2011 14:09:21 In Reply to: Feel the need for speed?

In an otherwise pleasant visit to Arizona I was caught in a speed trap on 188 near Lake Roosevelt. Big wide road, two lanes up, one lane down, going down 7% grade, posted 55 (though many narrower roads in AZ are posted 65) passed two cops, broke my own rule which is don't show 70 to the radar in a 55, third patrol car coming up the hill made a u-turn and cited me for 72mph. Had a rather spirited conversation with the officer.
Pleasantly surprised he wrote me for 10 mph over and further made it a non-moving violation "Wasting finite resources" which was $47.60 and no points.
Re AZ speed cameras, I didn't see a single one on AZ on my trip in June. I usually pass one on Yarnell Grade on the way to Prescott just when the road gets really fun.
