Have you ever been to court to challenge a citation? Judges have great experience in cutting through the bull. If the MP says their estimate is 75 and you respond with 45, what do you think the judge will say? Any bets you will not like what he says?

In any event just having to take a day and go to court is a penalty. And what do you think he may say if its your second or third violation? I'd like to hear that one.

Give me a break with this "we are not going to slow down" bravado.

IL , the endlessness of your knowledge continues to impress and humble me. Your knowledge of physics, forensics, case law, judicial prudence and human nature are boundless. The ease in which you can take mere speculation, exaggeration or estimation and state it as unequivocal fact cements your reputation as a classic "know it all" in my book. Congratulations.
