Tis the season to load up the family minivan and speed off to grandma’s house for another round of turkey and togetherness. The operative word here being “speed.” I’m pretty sure my family is not the only one that finds themselves scrambling around like decapitated chickens in the process of getting out the door and to family functions on time during the holiday season.
The AAA is estimating that more than 35 million people will hit the road during the last week in December. And to help lead foots who will be driving to areas they are not familiar with the National Motorists Association (NMA) prepared a list of the worst “speed trap cities” across the country. The “traps” in each city are those stretches of road where police officers nail speeders at high rates.
If you don’t want to dig deep this holiday season because you were caught gunning it to grandma’s then take a look at the following list of American cities where police are not known to be lenient no matter what time of year it is:
