33 in a 30. 39? Can't get mad.

I've gotten a ticket for that. It was because a sign was concealed that told drivers to drop down from 40 to 30. I was going exactly 40. Cop even admitted to the sign not being well-marked.

I got a ticket for going 8 over at the bottom of a rather steep hill. Cops hid down there and busted people. You would either have to ride your brake all the way or enter the hill 10 mph below to stay within the speed limit. It was a gold mine for cops.

Cost me less than $100 though.

Got busted in a speed trap in La where the speed limit went from 55-40 (with signs) within a quarter mile, and the sign was around a curve. This was 22 years ago, I was going 50 when I went around the curve and it cost me over $100. I was pissed. It was a legit speed trap. I wish I had thought of the penny thing at the time.
