Take note, the variable Speeding ticket has been asigned the value of Epic fail!!
 
Seriously, 56mph in a 45!!   Who were they looking for?  I was surprised to see them, cause I hadn't the faintest clue I was speeding, but boy were they surprised to see me not drunk, not stoned, not crazy, and simply on my way home from my martial arts practice.
 
56 in a 45?  I think you could have let me off with a warning...

Sorry, Phase. 

Thanks Old, hopefully I can get it dismissed!! :-)

Good luck. 

I know..  :-)

I believe that 7MPH over the limit is considered within the margin of acceptability in Californiashire. Don't know about Floridashire.

Yup...envelope pushed just a tad too hard.  Good luck, ol pal.

 
I got caught speeding yesterday.
 
The policeman asked me to step out of the car and walk in a straight line.

Half way down he stopped me and said, "I'm sorry sir, but you'll have to come back to the station with me as you're staggering."

 "Ooh, you little tiger" I replied, "You're not so bad looking yourself."

Used to be 10% over was acceptable here, not sure if that still applies.

10% is not a reliable measure of fudging the numbers.
 
It's best to stay with traffic or slower..... any speed in a car sure beats walking or riding a moped limited to 35mph.  I use cruise control set to the limit. I have a friend who hasn't had a license in over 20 years due to traffic tickets and DUI...... moped rider....and even got a DUI on that several times.
 
Got a ticket?  hire a lawyer.... it's cheaper in the long run.  By the time you factor your time, court costs and fine, insurance points and premium increase over the next 3.5 years.... a lawyer is generally less than half that amount and you can walk away with a dismissed ticket....  I just went through this and the lawyer saved time and money..... 72 in a 55....  3 more and it could have been handcuffs.... one of those rare times I wasn't paying attention after coming off an interstate (not even 2 miles) with 70 as the limit.... same deal for my daughter.... 82 in a 70.... we both paid lawyers and got the tickets dismissed entirely.   Of course having a clean record to that point also helped....
 
not fun for sure..... but it happens...
