Kelly Lecker wrote this story for The Toledo Blade discussing the Speed Trap Exchange website. Whether on regularly traveled routes or unfamiliar streets and highways, a person can now refer to the site and become knowledgeable about the locations where speed traps frequently are.
It's been around about four years and is run by the National Motorist Association, a group formed in Waunakee, Wisc. to fight for drivers' rights.
"Not only do we allow people to list speed traps, we also allow people to make comments on those listings," said association spokesman Eric Skrum. "The reason we did that is to open the debate over speed traps to everybody."
Mr. Skrum said most of the complaints about speed traps seem to come from Ohio, Pennsylvania, New York, and California.
Anyone can contribute a speed trap listing, and many people do. There are just two rules: no naming specific officers, and no profanity.
This posting is for all those drivers that want to be forewarned. The website also gives information on the different state laws and how to fight speeding tickets.
