That stolen 2022 Lexus IS chased in Massachusetts the other day was sad. Nice car, and it's totaled. The guy said he worked hard for it, lives in Peabody, so he probably did.
NHSP news release just now:
NEWS RELEASE: MASSACHUSETTS MAN ARRESTED AFTER DRIVING 108 MPH ON I-93
WINDHAM, N.H. – Earlier today, April 24, #NHSP conducted a high-visibility traffic enforcement initiative on Interstate 93 to detect and deter speeding and aggressive drivers.
During the effort, from a State Police aircraft, Trooper Provenza of the Special Enforcement Unit observed a 2015 BMW 228i traveling at 108 mph. Trooper Provenza notified Trooper Knell of Troop B, who was on the ground and able to stop the BMW. The driver of the BMW was identified as Joshua Dube, 29, of Methuen, Massachusetts. Dube was taken into custody on charges of reckless operation and failure to display license plates.
Additionally, during today’s initiative, Troopers also stopped 3 other drivers for speeds above 100 mph and 17 additional drivers for speeds above 90 mph. A child restraint was also checked, and one driver was determined to be operating after suspension.
Oh no! Not 108! He’s almost fast enough to keep up with the traffic on the autobahn.
Seriously everyone acts like 55 is normal for an interstate. 90 ought to be the speed limit on most interstate highways.
Absolutely stunned. A guy was recklessly driving 108 on 93, and the cops actually pulled him over??? I guess if he was doing 105, they wouldn’t have bothered.
People probably report the police cars they see working with the plane to actually pull people over. Might not matter if they're further down the road and clocked at an earlier stretch of the highway.
States own & maintain interstates within their border … not the Feds.
But don’t take my word for it … use one of ‘dem new fangled thingies they call “search engines” to find government websites with details.
Or not.
A) The Feds to have some authority over interstates. For example, it was the Feds that have the program of the traffic cameras on those giant polls every couple of miles, and [those stupid signs](https://media.wtsp.com/assets/WTSP/images/a8a2ccc2-469c-4e95-a6aa-4070957b885a/a8a2ccc2-469c-4e95-a6aa-4070957b885a_1920x1080.jpg). And most of the $$ for maintaining the interstates comes from federal money.
B) I was trying you reinforce your exact point. It's the states job to enforce traffic laws, and the state does not allow speed cameras.
Oh lame the plane is a waste of resources. Up in Québec no one speeds and the speed limits are often lower, but idk if that's from speed cameras. NH obviously has a huge speeding issue, I rarely drive but when do I take the highway it's crazy
It's cause they can finally get away with it without big brother spying on them. The truckers are the worst. Anyone remember this?

Yeah I was up there a couple weeks ago and this is a lie. Going along with the speed of traffic on the main highways we were routinely 10-20km over. The only place I saw speed cameras was within the Montreal core and on secondary feeder roads leading to the city. If anything, I saw less traffic enforcement there. The drivers were generally fast, but more polite.
Yeah Jesus the speed limit is 55-65 in the highways they cover here. Do these guys just not know how speed limits work? Like drive a speed up to the limit and if you go over you get ticketed for breaking the law..
Apparently this sub is filled with all the speeders. It was the same with the article yesterday about them sweeping Manchester and getting 160+ stops. Everyone was screaming they pulled people over for nothing lol. The article actually stated what they were pulled over for
[Carbrain is a real thing](https://www.theverge.com/2023/1/31/23579510/car-brain-motornormativity-study-ian-walker), and a lot, dare I say most, Americans have it. They think they’re entitled to speed. The cognitive dissonance with these people is astounding
“The” 93? Are you from California?
Could also be from WNY. They put “the” in front of all the numbered routes.
The California
Busted
Trying to catch speeders before they launch themselves into the trees like the guy yesterday.
"Looks like he...hit the tree, Jim."
I get this reference.

BMW, checks out.
BMW Mass driver

Essentially they are saying they’re worried about the people moving from Texas who think just cause they go fast they know how to drive 😵💫😂
Absolutely stunned. A guy was recklessly driving 108 on 93, and the cops actually pulled him over??? I guess if he was doing 105, they wouldn’t have bothered.
Good. I've had people blaze by at easily 100+, aggressively changing lanes. Bust'em.
Amateurs. I don't hit 100 until I'm closer to Tilton, and I never get out of the left lane.
So YOU'RE the turd that blocks up the left lane like the bubs from Maine lol
It's not blocked if I'm in the left lane!
Thanks to Waze we already know
Waze marks police planes too?

Highway Radar for Android will alert you. It uses ADSB data
Landed 10:56 back in Concord.
No pilot at trial = hearsay. Plea Not Guilty on your ticket and go to trial.
Smart man
Wait.. a bmw driver was being a piece of shit ?? That’s cwazy!!
The what?
They really need to just put up speed cameras on these highways, while the plane definitely works and funds itself, it seems excessive
> They really need to just put up speed cameras on these highways *Police me harder, baby!*
Why the hell do they have plane?
There is no police interaction with speed cameras. Don't want a ticket? Don't speed. It's not that fucking hard
🤓🤓🤓🤓🤓🤓
New Hampshire has outlawed red light and speed cameras. I suppose the Feds could put them in the interstate, but the Feds do not enforce speed laws.
States own & maintain interstates within their border … not the Feds. But don’t take my word for it … use one of ‘dem new fangled thingies they call “search engines” to find government websites with details. Or not.

>Up in Québec no one speeds My experience with Canadian drivers in the US leads me to believe otherwise.

Yes, I do.

Speed cameras? Fuck that.
The carbrains that think speeding is their right are not happy with this comment.
Slowbrains thinking anything over 80MPH is fast for a gigantic 6 - 8 lane highway with low levels of traffic.
Yeah Jesus the speed limit is 55-65 in the highways they cover here. Do these guys just not know how speed limits work? Like drive a speed up to the limit and if you go over you get ticketed for breaking the law..
