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 they are making others aware of this and not to let it have to them.

I’m not picking on you but what was your hurry? I know it wasn’t fast but 25 means 25. Where ever you were going you probably would only gain about 2 mins. even if you were only going 10 miles. I live in the Dallas TX area & I’m guilty of going 75 in our 70 mph zones & if I barely see a car in my rear view mirror I guarantee you they’ll pass me within a mile or 2. When they pass me they pass me so fast I couldn’t read their license plate if I wanted to. Some people will get mad at police but these speeders are breaking the law & police are just doing their job, slowing people down so they won’t kill some little kid. Wiserbud47, you made a good comment!
