    You ever see those “Speed limit enforced by aircraft” signs? That’s the guy you gotta worry about.

      That’s what “©” means. In most states you are by natural law not allowed to be faster than the speed of light

      I never actually understood those. Do they actually have, like… a drone? Is it snapping a photo? How’s it all work?

        So you’ll occasionally see two white lines perpendicular to the road at a set internal. A helicopter, drone, or plane can time when a car passes both of these lines and can calculate the average speed of the car.

        This info is then relayed to a police car on the ground who then pulls over the driver.

            shrugs

            Less likely to be noticed by drivers or alerts like on Waze. Probably a bit more costly though if they’re using helicopters or planes instead of drones.

                Deterrence. You never know when they might be monitoring you above, so watch your speed.
