Default Re: Speeding Tickets Anyone?

I've never actually gotten a ticket,but have been told to slow down a few times.I tend to drive the A's faster on the back roads around here to keep from having to downshift.I have a hill on my road that you can not make in a T unless you hit the bottom doing 37 MPH.That was the known number from long before I was born.If you hit the bottom doing 37 the car will stumble and start to miss just as you clear the top.At 35 the car will stall right at the top.I got stopped for hitting the bottom at 41 on the radar in a 23 T.He didn't write me,he felt he would be laughed at in court.I explained just why I had hit the bottom flat out like that,he understood perfectly.The speed limit there is 25 now thanks to young mothers with SUV's and cell phones.On the other end of the road was a fellow that bought one of those 41 Ford trucks with the 20 HP 9N tractor engine.He could come home down that hill,but to get to town he had the take the 3 mile long route.The truck just didn't have the power.
