Sorry to hear about your misfortune. This also holds true when travelling from city to city. Here in Texas, speed limits can vary from 75 to 30 in a blink of an eye. If you're lucky, you might see a Reduced Speed Limit Ahead sign.

As of right now, I'm not tailing anyone - just sticking to the limits.
Thanks for the info.

Speed ?
Very true, Here in Pennsylvania, years ago they raised the speed limit on the turnpike to 65MPH and some other roads. But I had a chance to chat with a PA state trooper once. I asked about having a red Corvette and if they were a special kind of car that invites speeding tickets, but he said "No! but if you set your cruise-control at 69MPH you'll never get a ticket in PA. He went on to say the speed limit is 65, and they give you 5 MPH for speedometer error. I do that and I've not gotten a ticket. But I have also been changing some of my bad habits like going through a yellow light, I stop even if I have to back up but I'm mentally changing my driving and the bad habits I've picket up over the years. I'm even taking a defensive driving course as well. I'm trying to become a better more responsible driver over-all.

Are you talking about going into Jeffersonville, In? I can only assume. It's a trap on both sides. Lots of people going back and forth for commerce activities.

Man there are coppers behind every bridge and tree in Texas. It's really a shame what it's turned into now. Kinda disgusting actually.

Got a speeding ticket on my way to pick up the '98 from the show that it was in 2 months ago. Was doing 95kmh on a 60kmh road (country road). 2 cops in the car. The girl who wrote the ticket was obviuosly a trainee... I just wish I would have gotten the ticket driving the 'Vette instead of the Civic!

Tired of looking at the crack of people's butts everytime they bend over.
Then to people who say I got, instead of I have. Drives me bonkers.
As far as driving I drive the speed limits 99% of the time. Learned a long time ago it's not worth the hassle.

Sorry about the ticket, but 
to you for not whining about it. Sometmes the signs are easy to see, sometimes not.
