Hwy 17A approaching Cottageville in both directions.
Members of our family travel this route often. We have a large group and 90% have been ticketed here. When I was – I almost blurted out “everyone knows this is a speed-trap,” but refrained because I wanted them to reduce mine as they had for most in overcrowded little courtroom. We all felt like victims in the grips of overpowered abusers of the law which they use to line the city pockets with money to support their town. Their Christmas lighting could have been paid by my family alone. Sad part is so many will pay higher insurance because they were caught in such an elaborate trap!!!!! I know when I was stopped, the officer got soooo close to my rear with his lights shinning in my rear-view. It kind-of caught me off guard and all I wanted to do is get him off my tail, so I sped up a bit. Then, the blue lights. I felt harassed. Isn’t it against the law to follow too closely? If I am wrong, I don’t mind paying the price of my crime. If I am forced to react to an intimidation, I am a victim.
