speeding ticket

GA 400 NB between Lenox and 285 overpass, after the toll. Stopped by GA State Patrol just before overpass about 3 miles after Lenox.

Trooper tries for an admission of guilt, I respond with "I don't want to kid you, why don't you tell me..." He says, well I caught you at 102 mph at Lenox and it took me three miles to catch up. I say, that fast, huh ? Where you headed ? Well, I have a golf outing. Hey, I like golf ! What year is this ? It's an 05, thinking this has to be a good sign.

Gives me a ticket for 89 in the 55. I thank him for his forbearance. I ask him, BTW, how fast did you get up to ? He says, 130 that's all she'll do...

yeah - from experience - You cant be going 90-110mph --- fast enough to get the cops attention but not fast enough that they give up on you. If you are going to speed -Do it! go +145mph .... they cant catch you ***if the roads become crowded -- They will also catch you when you slow down --- so, better to exit right away -- just in case. or come up with a great excuse like -- if was trying to speed I would go 200mph

Sorry to hear about your ticket. 400 and 285 have been crawling with GSP's lately.
