South 315 to 71S in Columbus for the locals, it's a transition from 55 to 65 MPH zone (at 8 pm, few cars are going 55 on 315S, but whatever). I got tagged at 74 in 55 zone, which is on the slightly high side of reasonable for the traffic IMHO. Wrote down the vehicle year wrong 98 vs 97 (despite insurance card being correct)... nothing too out of the ordinary. In any event, the officer never had me sign the thing. I always hear of people saying they'll contest at signing, being upset that they had to sign, but no signature was asked for.
Was I speeding, yes. Will I pay $107 as asked (no points for below 75), I guess - but I want to know if showing up in court with this being unsigned (none of my handwriting on there and, legally, just the fact that I have the ticket in my hands to establish it was me) would this be an instant dismissal ?
To tell the truth, I thought freeways could only be patrolled by Sharriffs and the Highway Patrol, but what do I know.
For the curious, if you're caught speeding in a pack of speeding cars and you've got the red one, get ready to stop.
