[#0000FF]I agree with Mike that there is far too much speeding on the main highway, and I am all for socking it to the folks that drive unsafely.
But the problem I have always had with Mantua is the almost "sting" tactics they use off the main road to keep somebody under surveillance until they can swoop in and write a ticket. I have been harassed while launching a float tube to the side of the ramp...to avoid blocking boats launching. And I know other tubers who have been ticketed for minor infractions...while megamotor boats roared by well within the proximity zone.
I know of several folks who have been stopped and ticketed for minor overages of the 25 mph limit off the freeway. And the attitude is even worse. When one of my friends replied to a bogus citation by saying they would not visit Mantua again the reply was simply "Good."
