*going 55 in construction zones*...Matt |
Tell me about it... I was following a bunch of people thru there at about 70... I didn't realize the construction limit was in effect so close to Truckee. I'm in the left lane, and there's a couple big SUVs and vans in the right lane... Suddenly, the guys in the right lane see the cop on the shoulder and slam on the brakes... I can't see of course (goddam big ass trucks!) and I pop out into the front of the pack right as the cop decides to hit us with the radar. So I get the 70 in a 55 ticket, while everyone else keeps on going.
The ticket wasn't that much tho, only about $75. Maybe I didn't get hit for "double construction zone" or something, since it looks like the construction was finished up there months before I got my ticket. Where I got pulled over, it was all new concrete and not an orange cone in sight!
