I’ve gotten hit with speed traps a bunch of times, enough to take my time on local streets in the BX at least, the one by southern Blvd right by the bronx zoo is LETHAL, anything over 3mphbover the limit and you are toast....with that said, I drive EVERYWHERE and a lot of you are highly exaggerating on the “inconvenience” of driving in NY, mainly because commuting in NYC is an inconvenience no matter how you slice it, you either deal with traffic inside the comfort of your own space, tunes, or deal with the stench of the subway, the annoyance of train dwellers, the crowds, the constant bumping into everyone for the sake of not dealing with the parking issue, pick your poison, i for one will ALWAYS chose the comfort of my own car, protected from all the elements and not having to deal with a bunch of idiots.
