Twelve Pointer
Ok first let me say that I am telling the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth. Friday night I was driving in a 45 mph zone and up ahead I see a police car at a stop sign on a side street waiting to pull out on the main road so I made sure I was going 45. Right past this road the speed limit changes from a 45 mph zone to a 55 mph zone. About a quarter mile in the 55 mph zone I see two highway patrol cars sitting beside each other facing opposite directions in the median. So again I've just left the 45 zone and I am at 55mph when I pass the troopers. As soon as I pass them the blue lights on one car comes on and I pull over. I'm assuming he is gonna say
something because I had a big cooler on my hitch hauler blocking my tag. He walks up to my truck and asks why I'm going 78 in a 55 zone. I was in shock at this point.... I told the trooper no way was I going anywhere near 78. He asked me how long I've had the tires on my truck as bigger tires can change the speedo. I told him about two years ago and I went up one size tires and that doesn't make a speedometer off by 23 mph. I asked was there anyway that maybe he clocked someone else and pulled me by mistake. Long story short is he gave me a ticket for 78 in a 55. He said because of the rate of speed it's mandatory I have to show up for the court date. To say I'm pissed off is an understatement. If I was guilty or even running 65 I would take my lumps but I was not even speeding. So now my options I guess is to drive 5 hours back to the town this happened at and try to represent myself or hire a lawyer and hope I can get it reduced. Either way I'm out a lot of money for something I'm completely innocent of.
