Just to bring you all up to date (and explain why I asked):

He was in the passing lane of a four lane main street, because he was going to make a left. It was a residential area (y'all would recognize the suburb if I mentioned it), and trust me, Mr. Special never speeds (that's my job!). It was on a Sunday night, so it wasn't a school zone thing - as I said before, I'm convinced it's the town's main source of revenue.

Because this is his busiest season, and really couldn't afford to take time off for going to court, he took the one night "driving school". He said it was like The Breakfast Club - no real schooling, just detention, so at least he could get some work done and his insurance wasn't notified.

I did offer to help him with the ticket. As I said, I make more than he does, and it was supposed to be a fun night out. He declined the offer (yes, the dance!), but everytime I think about the three stinking miles, I get really miffed. He had been talking about something special for Valentine's Day before the ticket, and now, the silence is deafening. Obviously, the gift-o-meter is set on low for a while, because of the over-eager policemen.

I do thank you all for your responses. I never thought about having his speedometer calibrated, although when I mentioned going to traffic court, he said that he simply didn't have the time. A true statement - February is his worst month.

Thanks again!
