    Nope nope nope. Think of it this way. If u can see the 30 mph sign but are still in the 55 they could write u a ticket for speeding. Speed zone starts at sign.

    Indiana is the same way, the speed limit starts at the sign. A friend was given a warning for speeding, he was doing 60 in a 50, even though you could see the 65 sign.

    You can't do the faster speed till you pass the sign, and you have to be at the lower speed before you pass the slower speed limit. By your theory, I take a route everyday and know a 55 sits at the bottom of a 25. I can see it but its a good 3/4 mile away by line of sight and still maybe 1 1/2 driving. So.... You follow where I'm going?

    I can't believe I got away with doing it that way for so many years.

    I call BS. you were given the ticket but since it wasn't in your name, you figured no harm in losing it. Come on dude. Push comes to shove I bet your license is the one they wind up suspending for non payment.

    I promise. The police officer came back to the truck and said I'm going to let you go with a "failure to exhibit documents" and also stated he would be watching out for my truck. He handed me 1 ticket that is all. My boss called me saying I never paid my ticket. I will upload a photo of it with some information blacked out.

    I wouldn't putz around anymore. Up here a careless driving charge is a BAD thing. Its a fireable offense at a LOT of companies. Better go see the jp or magistrate and see whats up. Good luck.

    Oh I'll pay for it I'm not worried about it. My question is tho how is it my ticket in the companies name. It just baffles me. The cop specifically noted he was letting me off with the 1(one); ticket only
