it's always the 30, 35, and 45 zones that they seem to nab you in, since sometimes it's REALLY hard to tell when the limits changed and by how much.

...that being said, the only speeding ticket that was ever written for me (I got it moved to a non-moving "faulty equipment" violation) was 83 in a 55...

That may be because it can be irritating to slow down (from a higher speed road) and the cop doesn't have to accelerate that hard to catch up with you.

112 in a 60...many, many years ago

To this day I do not know how I avoided jail, let alone a ticket.

Flat tire on the way home from shopping today. Tire is totally shredded to hell, but at least I got the tire & wheel protection so it will be replaced for free.
