Kiowa, OK Rte 69 towards Dallas

Broken Arrow, OklahomaFeb 07, 20111 Comments

I was in no rush, being very careful to watch for all speed limit signs. The officer was polite, so no complaints there. But his story didn’t ring true. I was going at least 5 MPH less than he said, and did not see any sign showing the limit dropped to 40mph. i politely asked where it was, and he just said “you must have missed it.” He ended our conversation by letting me know that i could call their offices to find out how to keep the ticket off of my record. It turns out they will wipe it off my record after 90 days of clean driving for an additional $100. With one ticket in the last 25 years, I think I’ll take my chances. They should be ashamed of themselves…this is legalized stealing.

Yeah I just got a ticket on this same stretch. Was driving through at Midnight on my way back from Dallas, was doing 52mph and never saw the speed limit drop to 40mph. The cop was short and seemed more concerned about writing a ticket than explaining their posted traffic speed limits. I definitely felt completely taken advantage of, this ticket could have easily been a verbal warning to slow down.
