Road has just recently been improved to a 4 lane interstate. The speed limit has however remained at 55. I was caught within one mile of the tennessee state line where the speed limit is 65. Officers were staged about 3 -5 miles apart on Labor day weekend south bound to Asheville. I was ticketed at 71 mph. I cannot mail in a payment I must appear or pay an attourney to appear in my behalf. I received a letter from an attourney that would handle my case for $ 300.00 up front (minimum). it sounds like ambulance chasing to me.
