but there wasn't a speed limit sign anywhere on the road. I was doing 44 in a 25. I thought the road was 35, so i was prepared for ticket, but not a 153 buck one. I drove back through and ther isn't a single speed limit sign on the road. wooo, im gona contest it.

open up, we're coming inside. What's it feel like to know you're gonna die?
 
Sounds like you got yourself a new asshole...

it wasn't residential, turn off of a 35 mph road. I'm not too worried about it though.

Usually in towns there will be a sign that says 'Speed Limit 25 unless otherwise posted'. So make sure there aren't any of those in your town.

 
Randall is right, there is generally some local ordinance, or even state law, that determines the speed on unmarked roads. And chances are the court will hold you accountable for that kind of information.

Just came back from a rock climbing trip to the Western USA, got my self a 150 buck ticket, 100 in a 75.

Its all good though, I call it a high speed user fee.

Yeah, that's not even close to being a big ticket. Try almost getting fined $3000 and getting three days in jail for acting as someone's DD. Yeah, not fun. Got pulled over in a work zone in a town an hour from where I lived. I wasn't too familiar with the area (much less the speed limits) in the first place, not to mention the fact that they were doing huge construction work on the highway, so it was confusing as hell. Double fines, open container (the guy I was driving home drank and disposed of four beer cans in the back seat of my truck without my knowledge.. I was in the house at the time). Not fun. Now THAT would have been a bad day, but surprisingly, there are some decent pigs out there.

your not gonna win, i just went to court for the same thing. no speed limit signs anywhere from where i left to where i got pulled over. they said it didnt matter, its my responsibility to know the speed limit anyway. the DA didnt even wanna hear me try to argue it.

 
ya, my dad interpreted the ticket for me and it said If i lost I could be fined up to 1200 bucks. I'm just gona pay the 153.

dude if there r houses on the road or if its a 2 or 3 lane road u should expect anyting over 30

Thats not the 'religious right', thats not 'stupid people' thats the country making a democratic decision. All you liberals need to realize there aren't as many of you as you'd like to believe, you lost, so deal with it and stop crying.

dude heres a lil secret ive used b4, when u get to court say ur speedo was off. then bring oin a fake invoice from a buddy of urs shop about replacing a speedo cable. (newer cars don't have speedo cables but thye judges don't know that as i have used this trick b4) Be really nice to the judge by using 'Your honor', 'Sir' etc... and he should let u off with a warning. The judges are usually pretty cool about it and will not even think twice about the invoice. its the money shot and as ive said has bailed me out twice now. just gotta know somebody who owns/ works at a shop or steal a blank invoice froma shop

 
your speed limits are very slow and RESPECTED! france limit on highway is 130 kph, i never drive below 160. never caught by police

the town i live in i got a 200 ticket for going 45 in a 35, and the officer said that i would have have been fined a more if i she had not marked it down from 46(which i was suposidly doing). But the only way to get your ticket taken care of is to get a lawyer, its going cost the same as paying for the ticket and you don't pay them if they don't win!

 
my drum teacher/family's best friend is a lawyer. mehehehe.
