Hwy 6 300 ft of Exxon Turn around

Riesel, TexasJan 18, 20132 Comments

Going cruise control speed limit 70 mph until suddenly 55mph, tried to slow but officer located top of hill at 55 mph sign. Looks like it’s the local sheriff from previous complaints. What a devious racket. Also stated Colorado insurance card wasn’t technically correct, works fine in CO. Officer seemed confused because of driving rental car. Just visiting our college grandkids at A&M. from Colorado. Practice probably needs to be investigated. Haven’t had a ticket in 30 yrs, also obey traffic signs.

I also got a ticket in the exact same place! I was cited for 75 in a 55. The speed limit changes to 55 as soon as you top a small hill coming into this little town and, surprise, there is a cop sitting facing traffic with a radar gun. This officer, Pete Zuniga, is a terrible excuse for a police officer. He can barely speak english! When I asked him to repeat he would not and acted like he didn't understand! Avoid this route at any cost! Without our fines this town will surely dry up and die.

Same place. Same situation. Same officer. This is a total speed trap. I don't speed, much to the chagrin of other drivers. All other towns along this highway have a gradual slow-down zone. This one is set up as a "gotcha." It's the only ticket on my record in over 10 years. The last one was at a speed trap crossing state lines into South Carolina. Shame on Officer/Affiant Pete Zuniga.
