Speeding ticket *groan*

[Kenyth]

Well, leave it to me to do it right the first time I get a speeding ticket (Warnings previously throughout the years). I was heading to a friends house to help pick up something from Menard's in my truck. I was only going ten miles over the limit, until I crossed the train tracks where the limit drops from 40 to 30 before the intersection and didn't notice. Guess where the county patrol car was? He was polite, but wrote the ticket for the full amount over (51 in a 30). I didn't realize what a big deal 20 over is. I have to call and find out how bad the prosecutor wants to ream me I guess. With any luck, they may drop it down a notch (crosses fingers). It could be up to six points and a nasty fine!

Lesson 1: Pay more attention to speed limits when I'm driving on the back roads and less on the cigar and long missed warm sunshine.

Lesson2: Dig out the old radar detector in the basement again.

Before this, I would have said it is impossible to "Accidentally" drive 20 over the limit. I seriously underestimated my own capacity for inattention.

I was completely surprised and confused when I got pulled over. Only then did I realize to my horror that I truly had no clue how fast I was driving or what the posted limit even was. Helloooo! Wake up Ken! Must be spring fever or something.
