The same thing happened to me when I was 18. I was driving west on a certain road, (westbound would be uphill) in a 1963 bug. The speed limit was 25, and I was barely able to achieve it. I was pulled over and ticketed for going 75. I don't know what the cop's problem was, but he was very angry when he dealt with me. When I started to argue, I thought he'd shoot me or something. So I shut up and signed the ticket.
Anyway, I went to traffic court. When the judge recited my "crime", everyone in the courtroom laughed. 75 in a 25 is pretty funny, I guess. When I told the judge I was driving a '63 bug up a hill, the laughter only intensified. The judge threw it out without hesitation.
