Title: Lucked out....dodged a ticket today
Post by: RT on August 16, 2009, 03:45:41 AM
Riding back home this morning across one of the local bridges passed a police vehicle that had a cager pulled over.  Problem was I was going to fast when I passed them.  In Florida you have to change to far lane or reduce your speed to 20 mph under the speed limit.   I couldn't get over and was only down to about 45 when I passed them.  Was a speed trap set up on bridge so was waved over by the next officer in line.   Thought I was going to get a speeding ticket since I was going 80 when I approached the bridge but had fortunately slowed down to speed limit just when i got on.   He explained they were stopping for speeding and failure to move over.  Told me I failed to move over properly.  I agreed and said yes I was aware of law and had screwed up. Lucked out that the officer that pulled me over was also a biker.    So we talked for a few minutes, was riding my America and he asked about the bike. He than checked my license and cut me a brake with a warning.  Good thing it's a $121.00 ticket!

France is the worst place to get caught speeding that I know of:

$120 was just the failure to move over.  Speeding ticket would have been at least twice as much is not more, plus having to take a class to avoid points
