Around here in some areas you can actually see the difference in the number of vehicles and the type on the roads. When gas prices dropped the hogs came out of the sty. Now you see lower traffic volumes, maybe 25% and a larger number of smaller sedans and economy cars. You also see average speeds dropping from the normal 10 MPH over the limit, no matter what it is.
Cute little blonde in a red Jeep blew by me coming back from a show Saturday. She had pole position just about 1 mile before the flashing blue lights popped on behind her. The cop had just passed me while I was doing 55MPH.
I guess as the normal speed of traffic drops with higher fuel prices here, the gendarmes need to be more aggressive in enforcement to put some coin in the coffers. Heck they could ride in my car and fall asleep.
