Riesel Texas
Speed trap north bound Hwy 6. 2-10-12 – night- received ticket for going 71 in 70 mph zone. Officer on top of the hill behind 55 mph sign. Officer said I was in a “transition zone” where the speed drops to 55 mph, and then to 45 mph, all within 1/4 mile. Asked me what my hurry was and I told him that I was in no hurry and had cruise control set at 70 since posted limited was 70. My mistake…he said limit was actually 65 mph(wrong) and transitioned to 55 mph, so he change my ticket to 71mph in a 55 mph. “Transitioned $216 from my wallet. Court appearance or response within 10 days by certified mail only. UPS does not deliver certified mail to this one-horse town! When I came back through on Sunday – 2/12/12 the officer recognized my car again and pulled out behind me and followed me for a mile, he couldn’t get me this time since I was doing 35 mph. Avoid this area at all costs……you will pay!
