If you lived in Pennsylvania he would take you to the ER to draw some of your blood, before he let you go. They do that here if you have a tail light out. DUI here is a cottage industry.

I got a ticket last week for doing 50 in a 45 in a rural area. I had a choice of making a 120 mile detour to fight it or just pay the thing and I paid em off.

My opinion is that the whole ticketing process is designed to make you feel like you're getting a "break", which explains the insurance scare and the "20 miles over the limit" scare.
At no point was I going 20 mph over any limit (unless my speedometer is grossly malfunctioning). I will admit to being a few miles over though, and that was in the process of decelerating, so I wasn't over for very long at all. Also, on the ticket there is one box for the posted speed and one box for my actual speed. Neither box had a number in it - he just checked them off with a diagonal line as if they didn't apply. Don't know what that means, or if I can use that to my benefit. Anyway, I did talk to my insurance guy today and luckily, my rates shouldn't be affected. So I'm leaning towards just paying it and getting it over with. But I'll wait a few more days and think it over. I appreciate everyone's input. Ron PS - I did check the CT infractions website and the fine for the code on the ticket is indeed accurate.
