I often hear the argument of keeping up wth fast-moving traffic, even if that traffic is averaging well above the posted limit. While that argument does, in some cases, have at least some merit, in general, a whole lot more tickets are given out for driving too fast than too slow.

The big question is, though, did you learn from those tickets? As you note, the wise person simply learns to drive at or near the limit, and does not continually make excuses for why he or she cannot or will not do so.

since you've never been to court for a speeding ticket i'll tell you how it goes... they read out loud what you did, ask you to briefly explain yourself, and say ok will you accept this plea bargain? ive been to courts where we were given the option of taking a less severe speeding ticket and fine, or pay a much steeper fine but for a non-moving violation and get no points... getting no points is almost always the preferred option because who wants their insurance to go up and have to deal with that whole affair
oh and i've also learned that the PBA card is very effective, almost annoyingly so lol... it actually kinda pisses me off how much of an unfair advantage it gives, just because you know some cops doesn't mean whatever you did is any less dangerous, but the whole thing is a game and i'm not gonna not play along

No car plates all the time. Mostly out of state from what the troopers tell me as sometimes they are relay cars in drug deals with one license plate. I've had them towed off the property on a clearly gated road. We donated the car as abandoned. The respondent was the Secretary of State of a major empire. Who thinks this crap up? Peggie? Or Flo?
Trucks - I've had to pull over and call them in especially after I saw a car sideswiped off the road on Highway 84. Why I took my life in my hands I'll never know.

All this crap goes on and people are splitting hairs over how to avoid a speeding ticket. If you are a citizen just plead to jaywalking and pay the fine.
BTW I was a passenger yesterday when doing the 35mph speed limit in a toney area, a wild turkey flew in front of us and went write into Tesla going 50+. Hope she had her turkey permit. Question - where do you get one of those T. fixed? Jim Cramer's restaurant? Of the seven I've seen only one Tesla was not on a flatbed with bad front end damage.

My wife used to be an A-1, I always wondered what would happen if we pulled that out with a cop in PA. I doubt he would know what to do, so hopefully maybe err to the side of caution. I mean it is a DOS credential. But in NYC/DC/LA they know exactly what to do. Nothing!

Ok I think this ‘epidemic’ has been discussed sufficiently.
