…and I won.
A couple of months ago I got a speeding ticket. I was doing 49 in a 40. I contested the ticket by telling the officer that stopped me that I believed that the speed limit was 45 MPH. I was serious. I wasn’t just trying to get out of the ticket. She informed me that the speed limit changed to 40 MPH about a block before she clocked me then wrote me a ticket and gave me an order to appear in traffic court.
I was convinced that the speed limit was 45 MPH where I was stopped so later that day I went back looking for the sign indicating the change. I found it… behind a big pine tree. It was nearly impossible to see so I took some photos showing that the sign couldn’t be seen and prepared for my day in court.
