My wife and I were returning to Atlanta from Charelston. I drove through Cottageville on the four lane highway and increased my speed to pass a truck towing a large piece of construction equipment on a trailer. I did not want to be behind this truck on the two lane highway outside of town. Three minutes later I looked in my rear view mirror and saw the police car with his lights on. I explained to the office that I wanted to get around the truck. I was charged with careless driving, 50/35, and fined $243. I was told no points would be assigned. I paid the fine and did not appear in court. This town has a population of 700 with a full time judge, need I say more?
