Unfortunate targeting of out of state motorists.

Heading East on 58 about 1 mile before I95 intersection. Speed limit drops from 60 to 45. Yellow signs with upcoming speed drop are placed appropriately. But I’d recommend being well below the speed limit.

I was pulled over in the zone where the speed limit drops from 60 to 45. That being said, the actual speed limit sign showing 45mph was about 150 yards in front of me when I was pulled over. Literally, i was pulled over and the 45mph sign was 150 yards in front of me. About 100 yards behind me were the yellow signs indicating a speed drop.

I handed my license and first question was if I resided out of state at the address on my license, appx 4 hours away. I said yes. Next thing I get is i was going 61 in a 45. But I was catching a break that day and would only get a lesser penalty.

He knew I wasn’t from there, he knew I had my kids and wanted to keep going, he knew he had nothing on me, he knows there is no way I am driving 4 hours each way to fight an unwarranted ticket. So you know what? I’m paying the ticket. They win.

Beware.
