US 17 Highway outside of Darien, Georgia
Came through Darien area because I was lost. Just turned around at a store headed back and out of nowhere a McIntosh County deputy pulls me over and wrote me a ticket for going 73 mph in a 55. I had just turned around and I never drive that fast anyway. How could I prove it? A few days later, I receive 4 post cards from local attorneys that were offering to keep points off of my license and prevent my license from being suspended. On court day (5-14-14), I was present and plead guilty to prevent going to a jury trial. They reduced the speed to 59 in a 55 and the fine was $180 plus $60 court cost. There was no points on my license since I was in court and pled guilty. There is no way that I was traveling 73 mph to begin with. It was just a way to extract $240 from me. In the past me and my family would visit 3 popular seafood restaurants periodically, but never again. On court day, I observed the sheriffs dept patrol cars out waiting on prey. Last trip to McIntosh County and Darien.
