Just made my contribution to the Georgia Highway Patrol
I got popped doing 85 in a 70 on I-95 in Georgia. I had the volume turned down on my V-1 like an idiot otherwise I would have avoided this.
I was holding the middle lane and moved out to pass. I was being passed by a lot of faster moving cars. I looked ahead and saw a GHP officer on the side of the road aiming a Laser Gun at me. He pointed at me and I pulled over under the next bridge where the 16 patrol cars were parked. I stopped behind the trooper that was getting ready to pursue me. LOL!!
I thought that would get me a break but no I got the ticket.
I just called to find out the fine and its $140. No problem. I then asked about driving school for the points. Get this. The girl on the phone told me to just write "Speed Reduction" on the ticket and no points will be assessed.
Seems to me the GHP was out to make some money over New Years weekend.
