I’m from Lubbock. Was driving home one Xmas from school. Was on the road between Winters and Sweetwater. This was right around the time that they started building all the windmills out there, and I did not know it. That was usually a stretch of highway that I saw no-one and could make up some time. I was in my 93 Ford Explorer and was giving it all she had. Had a Best Buy special Cobra Radar detector, and was in the area of that stretch oh highway where you could see for miles. I vaguely see a car way off in the distance, but could not identify it as DPS yet. Right about then my Cobra starts screaming. Well I stomp on the brakes enough to lock the tires (got that car sucked). By the time I met the trooper, he was stationary with his lights on. Had no idea what he clocked me at, but could have been as high as 95. Well he comes up and gives me the spiel, and asks me how fast I was going. Told him I wasn’t sure, tired from finals, just trying to get home. Said he saw 80, but it didnt lock till 71. Said he and I both knew I was doing well faster than that. Got a long lecture about the heavy truck traffic because of windmills, and I was an idiot for using this stretch to make up time. Sonovabitch gave me a ticket for 71 in a 70. That stretch of road has never been the same since those windmills went up.
