The speed limit drops from 65 to 55 to 45 in a matter of a mile so if you cancel cruise, you will never coast to the speed limit. I was ticketed for coasting into the 55mph zone after cancelling my cruise control way in advance of the sign. I even saw the FHP vehicle and did not think that he would pull me over for a few mph over right at the sign. He then told me that I was going 70 mph, which was not possible since my cruise was set on 65. I told him this and he came back with a ticket showing 64 mph. He had to laser tag me before I got to the 55 mph sign. As soon as I pulled away, he had already pulled over another vehicle before I was out of view. This is clearly a speed trap. Proceed with caution and make sure you use your brakes!!!

This definitely a speed trap. The writer knew exactly what he was talking about. The same thing happened to me and I also saw the officer but knew that if I was speeding so was the other 10 to 15 cars riding along with me. I paid my ticket but wrote the Florida Dept in charge and got a return letter that really said nothing or explained anything. Beware of this area. The local businesses are well aware of what is happening and will tell you that it seems to always be out of state cars that get the tickets.
