[tcsparky]

I received a speeding ticket on the way to visit Mr. Tcsparky about three years ago. It was a raod that had had the speed limit reduced to 35 from 45 since my last visit. I was probably going 48 or so. He pulls me over and said I was going 55, and refused to allow me to get out of the car when I asked to see the radar screen. He then told me that he was going to write me a ticket, but that I was lucky, because he could pull my license for going that much over the limit, and that I should be careful on a road where children play (I'm thinking IN THE ROAD?!?).

[I though that perhaps my odometer was off, but later that month I was stopped for going TOO SLOW in the fast lane. My odometer read 67, he said my car was going only 60.]

I took the speeding ticket to a lawyer, he had it changed to "driving with improper equipment"- twice the fine but no points.
