The same exact thing happened to us. We were heading toward 441 from 466A and we passed the street that has a blinking yellow light. As we were going out of the school zone, we saw the lights of the officer behind us. We pulled over and the officer asked us if we saw the flashing lights. Neither of us saw a flashing light in the school zone. He said the same thing he said to you that he could be writing a ticket for speeding in the school zone for $400.00 but he was giving us a break at $209.00. He then said we were going too fast for a school zone. He also said we could contest the ticket if we thought it was given unfairly. But since we were only visiting at the time we figured it would cost us about the same amount or more to have to come back up here to contest it. Nice scam they have going. I have also seen the motorcycle cop in front of the billboard. He blends right in, but it might not matter if you are speeding or not. They can say anything they want and get away with it.
