Sounds like she had PMS, no ticket then forget about it, its not worth your time to get angry about it. 
If there was a ticket or she is threatening you w/ a ticket, demand a read out on the spot, no way in hell they can get any accurate reading (radar, laser, whatever) on a ramp! And pacing don't count either!

Yellow is "suggested" I.E. Like the dotted or solid yellow line. Solid yellow is "suggested" not to pass.
The "speed limit" (white) on the on and off ramp is 100KPH, where the "suggested limit" (yellow) is what ever's posted.

Oh yea you can be! My wife was warned of the same thing not long ago. The yellow sign is the ramp speed. If I'm not mistaken that's what is says on some if not all the ramp limit signs. It's unlikely they could clock you or have radar on a ramp, so the ticket you get is a careless driving ticket.
Ever see the guys in the ditch beside the ramps?? How/Why, and what ticket to you think they got??
It sucks driving this car around at or near the limit. I'm getting pissed doing it.
Just missed getting nailed last Friday, ripping down an on ramp into the 410. Slow from 135+ to 90-95 to merge with traffic. Cop pulls up from behind, he was already on the highway, slows to match my speed. He eyeballed me for at least 5 seconds, then took off.
I figure he saw this old bastard behind the wheel and gave me a break. I'm sure if it was one of you young wipper snappers you'd be busted.
Thinking of trading it in for a nice dull, non cop magnet TL.
