I just returned from a weekend in Reno. I always drive in from California, and I am very aware of the speed trap that the NHP has been working near Boomtown. I can not tell you how many people get pulled over along that stretch of I-80. It is a downhill run, you are almost to Reno, and it is very easy to end up going 80 to 85 mph.

I talked to a rookie driver on Saturday, and he got nailed. He said he was just not paying attention to his speed, but noticed a highway patrol sitting along side of the road. He hit his brakes, and at the same moment, another highway patrol car came out of nowhere and pulled him over. He got a ticket going 84, but the interesting part is he was clocked by an airplane. Airplane, 2 highway patrol units..... watch out folks. Slow down on that stretch of road.

It seems both the CA and NV highway patrols will periodically target that stretch. About a year ago there was a story in the newspaper about a guy who got arrested for speeding twice by different cops between Truckee and the CA border.
