All I can say is that I have received, thus far, two speeding tickets in my lifetime (and I am in my 40’s). One of the tickets, from the GA State Patrol, I deserved. The other was in Smithville, GA, and almost every time I drive through Smithville I see blue lights flashing and someone pulled over receiving a ticket.
On this particular incident, I was in the middle of town, directly behind another vehicle. In the middle of town, the speed limit is about 25 mph, as best I recall. So, I drove 25 and the car in front of me must have done at least 35 through town, increasing the distance between us. I headed out of town, following that vehicle. As the speed limit signs changed (upward), I increased my speed. Heading out of town, the speed limit increased – I think to 35 and then to 55 mph, so, I increased my speed, slowly closing the distance between myself and the vehicle that, in my opinion, has sped through town at the 25 mph area. The police were hiding around a curve, clocking people. They pulled me over. The officer claimed that I was going 60 in a 35 zone, but I had easily cleared the 55 mph sign before the curve, so there was no way they had clocked me back in the 35 from where they were positioned. The officer claimed I was gaining speed on the car that was in front of me. Of course, I replied, but I was directly behind that car in the center of town, and that car clearly left me behind as I was observing the 25 mph limit there. At any rate, I repeat, I have received two speeding tickets in my life; one was legitimate, and the other was in Smithville.
