I wasn't even used to the speedometer (mine is digital). There was the sign: "Speed limit 25 mph, you are traveling 31." I slowed down. Too late. There was the police car with it's lights flashing behind me. One ticket for $135, plus points on my license (may be able to take a class to avoid the points).

I am not complaining. i am hoping to make others aware of this and not to let it have to them.

That is a nice mature response for being human and being momentarily unaware. I try to take responsibility when I mess up and sometimes I'm even successful. Hope a class can replace the fine.
