I've driven down from Grand Rapids a few times. I'm assuming you're taking I-65 all the way down. There is alot of cops especially through Indiana. I wouldn't go more than 9 over the speed limit or they'll bust you.

From Detroit you completely avoid Indiana, so if that's the worst state for cops, that's a plus.

Yeah! Let's put U of M, PCB 07 and Boobs all over the cars. We'll get some great looks the whole way down. Not to mention at least in our car we are definitely gonna be drinking some road "sodas"

Yeah Indiana is definitely the worst. There is cops up and down I-65 regardless of what state you're in, but not like in Indiana. They try to trick you with speed traps and stuff. You'll see some real idiots goin like 110 MPH down I-65 just weaving traffic. They piss me off. You're on your way to frickin' spring break and you want to risk your or someone else's life because you think you're a bad ***? Gimme a break. We set the cruise at 79 and roll on down. PCB isn't goin anywhere. We'll get there soon enough.

driving

We drove down last year on a saturday night, this year we will be leaving friday the second at about 9 at night from grand rapids. Drivnig at night is usually the best because there are less cops and way less trafic. We didnt have any traffic last year, and it took about 15.5 hours to get there. Never drive more than 5-8 over, we did see a lot of people getting pulled over in the morning trying to do 43432432 miles an hour. Also, a fun game to play when you get borred in alabama is count the abondoned cars. I dont know what it is about that state, but last year we must have passed at least 200 of them on the side of the road.

We will deff be window chalkin up the car with some PANAMA CITY OR BUST!

I drive the majority of the Indiana Route often. I live in Northern Indiana and go to school in Bloomington. Cops arent too bad on I69 speed limit is 70. Once you get to I465 the speed limit drops to 55 even though it is 3 lanes wide. Most people go about 80 on it but the speed limit is 55. Its a straight shot down after that once you get on I65 and last year we drove through the night and dont recall seeing 1 cop. We will be stayin at the Sunbird, Go Hoosiers
