man i got pulled over tonight on a side road that leads to the campus no side walks or entrances but the speed limit is 20mph. im usually very cautious about speeding but the officer was clocking people at the bottom of the hill and i wasnt paying attention and just popped it in neutral and coasted. i haven't had a ticket in 5 years and he wrote me for 45 in a 20 and i had no idea i was going that fast.. i respect all officers and i was super nice and confessed that i felt like i was speeding and i apologized that i wasn't paying attention being late for my meeting with my professor. he said he cut me a break but didnt reduce the speed however he spelled my license plate wrong along with the city name and some other little things. did he do this on purpose so i could get the ticket thrown out or am i screwed either way. it makes me sick to my stomach that i slipped up like this and have to fork out all this money for a lawyer and court fines for doing $
