Comments: Talk about this speed trap below.
I am from VA and wanted my son to experience a ferry ride so we took the essex fairy from VT to NY. On the ferry we had a very bad experience. We were told to pull of the ferry by the ferry traffic director when I proceeded a man walked right in front of my car and I came within inches of hitting him. Then his two daughters came right behind him. Luckily I was not going at that point. The traffic director was fussing at all of them. I could not see them because there was a wall to my drivers side. I was so stressed I was shaking. All I could think of was crushing the mans legs under my car. I should have stopped and let myself cry it out and regain composure, but all I could think about was getting back on the interstate away from the situation. I was talking it over with my son about allmost crippling the man and I never noticed any speed limit signs. We had gotten out of the town and where I am from when you are in the country and out of a residential area the speed limit is always 55. When I saw her turn around to come after me I was doing 40 and was wondering what in the world was wrong. I then passed a 50 mph sign. I explained my situation to her about the ferry and that I had just come from seeing someone that I consider my father who has prostate cancer in VT. She had no empathy that I was from out of state and had never crossed that ferry or the stress level I was under. It is only 30 mph through there which never in a million years would I guess that would be the speed limit. This was definately a trap situation and I do not feel as if I was served and protected by the law enforcement. I feel violated.

You deserve every speeding ticket you get. You can complain all you want after the fact, but it's true.
Find out why.
It's one of the "great" American past times: complaining about unfair speeding tickets. There are two types of people when it comes to complaining about this particular type of traffic ticket. Which group are you in?
