Having lived in both Western and Eastern Mass I was pleasantly
surprised to find when I moved to Boston that the cops out here are
much more lenient with speeders in general.  Is it just my imagination
or is the concentration of Staties much higher in Western Mass?  Since
there are only two real highways out there, I-90 and I-91, you really
have to be careful.  I was, admittedly, very close to suspension when
driving those highways every day to work (my insurance record is a
shambles), but after three years living out here, and driving *worse*
(ie faster, like everyone else) my record is clearing up.

I find the sight of Staties a rarity, and speed traps on major
highways even rarer.  I feel genuinely safe travelling at 65 even with
a cop around, just as long as the other hundreds of cars are also
speeding along with me.  I find, in general (at least on the major
highways out here) the Staties are conscientious about enforcing the
speed limit for the sake of "public safety" and only pull over those
speeders that really stand out from the norm.  However, I've also
noticed a higher disregard for public safety in the way Staties drive
in Eastern Mass.

I hope I don't sound *too* naive.
