I was guilty. That one cost $193. <br /><br />A few weeks later I got the a similar envelope as yours in the mail from Cedar Rapids, Iowa claiming I was going 65 in a 55. Twice. Once on a Tuesday once on a Wednesday. One was northbound, one southbound. Both at the exact same mile marker. If the 55 mph speed limit was marked it must be on a one foot square sign behind a bush planted behind a billboard. There seems to be something wrong when a faceless bureaucrat sends a letter telling you it was your car, pay up, with no proof of who actually broke the law. It doesn't seem right. At least in the first ticket a cop actually pulled me over.<br /><br />Anyway in a two day span I got three tickets that cost me nearly $400 I could not afford. My first speeding citations in over twenty years and it was a trifecta. The Iowa tickets are for the car so they don't show on my record. Indiana let me pay an extra $50 for a "diversion fund" and if I do not get another ticket for six months this one is dropped. There is that. At least my insurance won't go up.Joehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17269114655802698386noreply@blogger.com
