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.

I'm pretty sure School Zone speed limits only apply on days when school is in session and kids are present. At least that's the law in Illinois. You should argue it.

Wow your the first person that is correct in here.

I agree it sucks but if there are posted signs and the putting them up ahead a time to let the public know your at fought better to put them up now then the day it's open and you run a little kid over!!!

Take it to court!!

Same reply to the other guy, what do you want to tell the judge? It is not up to you whether or not you have to follow a speed limit. If the sign is there, you have to obey it, regardless of whether the school is there or not. That is, of course, all on the condition the speeding ticket was a correct and legal one...

Generally most school zone speeds are posted for a set time (usually 7 or 8 am to 3 or 4 pm). If the school isn't in session then that doesn't apply and you can go the normal speed. Try it in court if you think you can win?

Good job. Your not a ******* idiot like the rest of the people in here just saying its the law.
