Take your own advise Bubba, I only chimed on your insult "A badge which I pay for" IE the same entitlement those who abuse there badges feel they
have. Stand up for what you write.

Oh oh, "copy that" etc. was appropriated by the "CB'ers" from Law Enforcement and
Pilots, and as far as I know is still used by both of them. I have no idea what the "CB'ers" use if they are still out there.
I also have no idea what a "13th signal radio operator" is, but I agree with you that the old CB'ers use to make me "itch" too with their lingo, much
of which I never understood.
Cheers. 
Barry

Texas already has 80 mph limits on some highways, 75 mph on others,
That really translates to 85 - 90 MPH considering most of us here do indeed add that extra 10 mph over the speed limits.
Why on Earth do you wish to go beyond these speeds is just ludicrous. Your topic really does not make any real sense. Are you lonely tonight or what?

Headed down to Cabo again this time with my brother. He is 40ty years law enforcement here in Texas. Constable. I have wiggled out of a few tickets
telling Feds in Mexico my brother is law enforcement.
So does anyone have first hand experience traveling with someone with a badge? Will the cops in Mexico respect his service, or should we not pull it
out ?
He is inclined not to bring it. I want it so we can hall (burro)across Texas and not get tickets. |

Old people are like the old cars, made of some tough stuff. May show a little rust, but good as gold on the inside.

McStrange, Nevada had no limit on highway travel for several years when I was a youngster there. The limit was: condition of the vehicle, condition of
the driver, condition of the road and the weather. I drove from Las Vegas to Reno (486 miles ) and back twice at just over 6 hours --- 120 mph except
for the 9 little towns on the highway (and some burros). And so did every other driver. You can check out the accidents/deaths online somewhere if you
like but really what's your point? This time? What speed would you have chosen for me and the others? When I retired from Las Vegas to Baja my job in
Las Vegas was safety officer for 6 cab companies. I'm 76 years old and have never had an automobile accident. Now try to pile on that.

I never drive over 70 mph----NEVER!!!! My son is a volunteer Ambulance Driver and NEVER drives over 65, in or out of the ambulance---------both of us
have had to clean up after way too many fast drivers that lost control, had a blowout, went to sleep, excetra, and they often took others with them.
SPEED KILLS!!! period. 
That's my take, anyway/

agree. statistics also clearly show that your chances of surviving an accident drop dramatically as your speed increases,... you got something like
20-30% better survival rate at 65 mph compared to 80 mph!

Not fast any more. Not even half fast. Now I drive like a Mexican, low and slow. The conditions change, I change. Takes me 2.5 hours to get to La Paz,
most others 1/2 that.
Save these posts in case I crash and burn real soon and you hear about it. You can all have some belly laughs over that one. Naw, just remember and
use the Search thing.

Dear Birdbrain.... that loves to troll McFez
Sorry in advance that my grammar sucks....my spelling is horrific....I know that has been an issue with you in the past. 
You need to really refrain from calling me names. We ALL here dont want it to get messy here as it is in the Off Topics.
Having said that............my point is that one does not need a badge to speed in Nevada.......since the limits are already higher that other states.
85 plus MPH should get anyone across the state of Texas in a flash without being pulled over.......as it was stated for the need of a badge:
"......He is inclined not to bring it. I want it so we can hall (burro)across Texas and not get tickets".
However............I do understand that when you used to speed across Texas back in the last century......doing 120 must had been a
thrill.....considering the ratings for tires were not up to the standings of high excessive speed......hence....causing blow outs from friction heat
from long periods of driving excessively. Are you sure that your claims is factual.......perhaps it was just a pinch of the follies?
I am so happy to hear that you were officially in charge of some Taxi cab company's vehicles......way back in the early 19th century. There were no
cell phones distractions......not many crackheads.....zero texting.....NO high rated tires for family cars to haul azz for hours at 120 mph.....and so
forth of a endless list of hazards that did not exist in your prehistoric times.
It's a brand new world out there old man.......sorry you missed catching it 3o years ago :-)
Let's keep your Fairytales at bay here..... Birdbrain. Like to be civil about this now...or do we need to have several more rounds? I'd prefer to be
civil.
Please don't troll me....................
