Today, a cop rear-ended me. Then I received a ticket from him for driving too far under the speed limit. We were in a school zone. FML

Today, I got a ticket for doing 38mph in a 45mph zone. Apparently you can be cited for "impeding traffic" even when you're the only car on the road. FML

Today, I received a traffic ticket by mail, presumably for speeding. Not a big deal, if my car hadn't been totalled three months ago. My driver's license is expired, too. FML

Today, I was on the way to traffic court for a $340 speeding ticket I'd got. My mother called me and I wasn't paying attention which caused me to speed. Right past a cop. When I told the cop where I was going, he started laughing at me. I now have another $300 ticket. FML

Today, I got a speeding ticket. My speedometer got busted a few weeks back, rendering it useless. My father, a former mechanic, decided it's not worth the trouble of going in and fixing it. "Just keep with traffic when you're on the highway; you'll be fine." This $150 fee says otherwise. FML

Were there signs?

Most officers I know are reasonable and respectable. The few who aren't ruin the reputation of the rest, similar to the idiots who ruin it for those who have some small amount of common sense.

If there are signs saying school zone, then it's a school zone irregardless of whether the school is built yet in which case YDI. If not then contest the fine. On the other hand... I have different fingers

It's still a school zone if the sign says it is. They're getting everyone adjusted to slowing down there so some dick who didn't know the school was done and opened won't blast through there and take out some kids. Also, it's probably a construction zone too.

Agreed. If there are signs posted, then you should obey them. It does not matter if the school is finished or not.

At least in Illinois, School Zone speed limits only apply on days when school is in session and kids are present. At all other times, the normal speed limit for that street applies.

someone had to decide that there is where the school would be built, before it was actually done. YDI
