      God I started a new long distance deive for work recently and its half on a rural highway. Like 10 tiny towns over arpund 60 miles.

      Every one…

      Outside speed limit is 55 mph

      Hit town, 45 mph

      30 feet later, 35 mph

      2 blocks in the middle, 30 mph

      Back to 35 mph

      35 mph feels like it lasts riiiiiight up to the edge of the town.

      And half the time the first drop going in and the 55mph sign going out are obscured by overgrown trees.

      Its just designed to catch people traveling the corridor.

      I’m the asshole who will drive 4 hours just to make the cop show up to court over it.

      My state doesn’t have absolute speed limits, so if you can show that the speed was safe for the road conditions, you can get off.

      Or just get a paralegal to file discovery paperwork. It usually costs the city more to do that than the ticket is worth, so they’ll drop it.
