anyway - when the road opened up, i went to an open lane to get out from behind the minivan that was blocking me for at least the previous mile at 5 under the limit, moved up parallel - then saw the cop turn on his lights...

the move up parallel part took less than a second, and i was no longer accelerating - but the cop caught it at 67 - and said i was in the 45 part of that stretch (which frankly is difficult to tell where the line is)

anyhow - i was over - and i got nailed...

That sounds exactly like the section of highway leaving Fontana and headed toward Ashville. You have come over the mountain and when you do its one speed and then as you crest and begin to head down it changes to a slower speed although the inclination is to increase speed. Lance (Chicane 370Z) got nailed there the first year (warning). Then Rick (black 370Z) got a ticket the next year coming back. Clearly a trap. That sucks!
