This is a continual construction zone. I distintly remember slowing to 40 mph. There was a vehicle in front of me and also one on my tail. I was the lucky out of county car that got the ticket. 53 mph in a 40 mph construction zone. I contested the ticket and during the officers testimony he stated that he knew I was speeding while meeting me on the road. He determined this stating "experience" and "ability to judge speed" all the while driving toward me and the other two vehicles and switching his radar on. He also stated he was unaware of any other vehicles around me. This is a very busy area. I soon found out that the court was not willing to question an officers "memory" as I was’nt allowed to present my side of the story with the judge stating my questions had nothing to do with the case. Manhattan used to be a regional shopping destination but not any more. I only go there when I absolutly have to. I had 3 witness with me when the incident occured and all concurred with me.
