SC 72
I have always been suspicious of this town because of it’s citywide 25 mph speed limit. On one of my trips through the town I was approaching the city on SC 72 from the south in a 55 mph speed zone. Just before the city a 45 mph Warning Sign is posted. I hit the brakes before the sign and started to slow down so that I was going 49 mph as I reached the 45 mph Speed Limit sign.
Almost immediately I had blue lights in my rear view mirror.
The cop pulled me over and accused me of going 59 mph in a 45 mph zone. I assured him that I had started to slow down at the Warning Sign and was doing under 50 and still slowing down as I passed the 45 mph sign.
He “compromised” and gave me a ticket for doing 54 mph in a 45 mph zone.
I now go out of my way to go around this town.
