Happy Holidays

9 MPH over

That is the ticket I got last week on the way to camping.  9 MPH over.  64 in a 55.  First he said he visually ID'd me doing 70, but decided to knock it down to 64.  Visually? ID's? WTF does that mean?  I was driving a full sized Tundra V-6, going UP the mountain, and he saw me for a period of possibly 2 seconds heading the opposite way. No way I was doing 70, and I think I'd have to really try to hit 64 on the hill I was going up.  My wife tells me, "I think that cop who just passed is going to pull you over", I was like "What the Fuck for?" 

The ticket is $80 which is no big whoop, but pisses me off because it's just at the right amount to make it more expensive to go fight it than just pay it.

I've never gotten a ticket for less than 15mph over.  I've gotten ones for 72 in a 55 (twice), 46 in a 25, 56 in a 40, and 58 in a 40.  9? Really?

Whats the lowest you've ever gotten a ticket for?

Oh and if you are driving through this little town in the mountains of western maryland don't go 9 mph over the limit.
