I get a lot of speeding tickets. One time I got pulled over because I had turned down my V1 and didnt hear it going nuts while doing 20 over. Many of the roads here have insanely low speed limits.

i.e. - there is a 2 lane road with houses along it, side roads coming in and driveways from houses. The surface is dicey as is in, broken up. Speed limit 45

It opens up into a 4 and divided road with no houses along it, not a single drive way and any side road has decel and acceleration lanes to get on and off the road.

Speed limit 35. It is an extension of the 2 lane road and they drop the speed 10 MPH for the wide open part.

Anyway, I am always extremely polite and nice to the officer and try to make the stop as bland as possible.

I always get a ticket lawyer after and he negotiates to drop the ticket, keep the court fees and wipe it off he record. That has worked 3 out of the last 3 times over about the last 7 years.
