I am sure many of us were subject to speed traps this weekend. I am a NY liscensced driver, and I am wondering if points from a NH ticket will transfer. If they will, then I could use info on who to contact to plea it down by mail or phone. This is my first speeding ticket on my record, i had one before, but it was plead down to stop sign violation.
The story is pretty ridiculous. I was driving from my home in VT down I-93 to visit a friend in NH yesterday. And I-93 goes through the white mountains state park, and becomes a one-lane 45mph road, so a good amount of cars bunch up. After a bit, the road becomes 2 lanes and the speed limit goes to 65 again. Just when people are finding their place on the road, with the slowpokes being passed, I see somone on a bike standing at the side of the road, wearing mostly black. I always stay in the left lane on long trips unless people want to pass me. At this point, there are no cars in front of me, and my 3000lb+ 91 volvo wagon goes downhill faster than any other car, i catch up to big rigs on hills without using any gas, and they don't use brake lights. So as I am driving downhill, i'm wondering who is on the side of the road. I find out too late as the cop walks into my lany and flags me down. He said I was going 85, I told him i didn't think I exceeded 80 but I wasn't looking at my speedometer that instant, I was going downhill looking at him, hoping no one hit him. He wrote me up for 80 in a 65, which is an 86 dollar fine.
The part that erks me is that I wasn't trying to speed. I go 80 tops in the passing lane which is the flow of traffic. Going down hill and being at the front of the line made things worse. It's just dumb; after me they pulled over 2 more cars, and after i left, the northbound lane had 2 cruisers pulling people over left and right. They sure know how to pick a spot.
