Default Is it true that Ohio is notorious for speeding tickets

I was having a conversation with a friend and he is going to Ohio for a wedding (past Columbus from PA iirc) and I warned him about speeding, because I remember always being told that they love giving tickets on the highways. I have got a speeding ticket in the past.

am I wrong or is he? is Ohio notirious for speed traps or is it not?

I've heard that Ohio isn't that bad for speeders... cops can't hide or anything... the only time i've ever gotten a ticket going through Ohio was by plane

Yes it's true, that is why most radar detection companies are based out of ohio. The big ones being Valentine and Beltronics (makers of Escort)

they can hide, they can sit in the median at midnight with no lights and yeah they definately use planes. infact there was a show on not to long ago that showed how they use the planes to catch speeding cars.

its typically the State Hwy Patrol thats the worst for ticketing. But if your not speeding, why worry? hahaha, ya i know, that was ridiculous.

edit: and yes, I grew up in Ohio, didn't move to NC until i was 22/23 I think.

I also grew up in Ohio, and on a recent trip there Ohio is where I saw the most cops. There was a combined 4 troopers between NC, Virginia, and WV......and in Ohio there was at least 6 that I saw. It was the same way on the trip back also. My suggestion is don't go above 10 over, because you'll get popped eventually.

lots of cops, if its at night they do have to have thier lights on though. It doesnt really help though. Some of them like to get tricky and stay on the right side of the road to get you since you arent looking over there.

Also biker cops, been seeing a few of them in Cincy lately
