My wife and I were on vacation, driving through Cottageville on a 2 lane road. As the road turns a corner it becomes a 4 lane road. At the time, I was following a logging truck. At the 4 lane section, I moved to the slow lane. I was driving a rental car with the rental car company name on the license plate holder. A police officer was hiding behind the corner and gave me a ticket for 50 in a 35 zone, just like others on this site. This is the first ticket I have gotten in over 20 years. I am a pilot and a clean driving record is important to me. Subsidizing the fulltime judge of a town with a population of 700 is one thing, but needlessly affecting my career is another. I live too far away to show up in court, so I called the judge. He told me to talk to the officer and asked for my phone number. Needless to say, the officer never called. The reduction in speed over the distance travelled is unrealistic to comfortable driving. Also, the police officer was blatently hiding around the curve with the expectation that normal people would indeed break the speed limit. On the back of the ticket I was given, it states "the primary aim of traffic law enforcement is to reduce traffic accidents, injuries and deaths through fair, impartial, and reasonable enforcement of traffic laws". This ticket was neither fair nor impartial and certainly did not satisfy the intent of the law. As a pilot, my first duty to my passengers is safety. The second is comfort. I carry this philosophy to driving. Radical changes in speed in an aircraft are the same as in a car. They are uncomfortable and can be dangerous.
