We travel 75 all the time and we never see a police officer, deputy, or state police. It is a speedway up there. We almost lost a bunch more.

I travel I75 from Ocala to Gainesville and back again every workday for the past 10 years. Hardly a day goes by when I don't see a police car of some kind, many times in the process of writing a ticket to someone that was using the "speedway". They can't be everywhere everytime, rwrca. There aren't enough of them.

I don't go on 75 very often, but whenever I do, I see Florida Highway patrol cars. They are usally the ones setting the 80 mile an hour pace.
