Ticket advice

Of course it's flawed, it's the product of men.

But what stands out for me is that you have not denied doing 15 over. Of course it's not for those drivers.

Carriers are pretty understanding, and so are insurers. Ain't too many stupid people running this game, they know drivers can and do collect unjustified tickets... but they also know cops often give breaks and don't cite, or by citing lower speed than they actually clocked and/or not citing other violations.

That's being squeezed by the feds. They want everything at least noted for statistical purposes. They want as accurate a picture of trucking safety as can be obtained, and drivers are under the microscope because drivers by far historically generate the most violations.

 

I haven't driven I-91 through Springfield in some time, and not being from MA I do not remember where the SL suddenly drops to 45.

Being from MA you knew the R lane was going to end, but you didn't know the SL was suddenly going to be reduced to 45 in the same area, so you just kept rolling at 60?

Let me assume the method by which you concluded "the car I could tell was going to try and sneak up in front of me" was by comparing its velocity and/or rate of acceleration to your own.
