Heh, a freight train can bleed off 10 mph in less than a mile. I'd say you earned that one.  :police:

Did you beat the cop and get filmed doing it?

I see this all the time on American TV and assume it is standard practice....

The cops usually do the beating.

Unless you meant beating the cop's night-stick.  :-X

No, no, you are confusing that with the game of 'hide-the-nightstick'.

Just say, "I  would have gotten away with it if it hadn't been for those darn kids", then spend the rest of the encounter talking like Scooby-Doo.

thats the usual spot for them. Who the heck in the right mind doing 55 and suddenly drop to 45 ? NO ONE, just what happened to me, who in their right mind that I should put a blinker whne I changed lane at 3:30 AM , no one was around except me and the PIG. Oh! men here we go again....... >:(

Call the county's states atty's office and ask if they offer supervision.  The cost will be higher than just paying the ticket, but, you will avoid a possible increase in insurance rates and points against your license.
