Default Re: Personal rant about ticket.

Hey, I had a heated conversation with an Ohio State Patrolman. He cited me for 60 in a 45. The posted speed limit was 55. They were putting up temp construction signs to reduce the limit to 45. There wasn't any construction at the time. He said "you truckers" need to learn to slow down, there is going to be construction here for the next 2 yrs. I am citing you for speeding in a construction zone. I wasn't happy about it and let him know. I shouldn't have done that, but his attitude was against truckers, and once he found out I was a Sheriff Deputy, he back peddled, which peeved me off even more. I took the ticket. Went to court, argued my point, paid court costs, citation was thrown out. I was speeding, but 5 mph over and not in a construction zone, so I was happy with just paying court costs...
