What a delight to learn that my speeding ticket for 29 miles over the limit has been dismissed!
Given that I departed for a three-month stay in Europe shortly after receiving the ticket, I have been carrying around a dismaying sense that almost $300 of my vacation might not be enjoyed, thanks to the hovering threat of a spurious contribution to Hillsborough County.
Yes, there is a posted 50 mph speed limit heading southbound off the veterans Expressway toward 275 N. Yet everybody drives around 70 miles an hour in the outside lanes throughout the downtown interstate network. It was late at night with minimal traffic, clear pavement. I was just oblivious enough at late evening to overlook the police car hovering to my right. Out of self-respect, he felt obliged to ticket me, I'm concluding.
And what a mercy to be spared taking the safe driver course.
Thank you, Sulte Law, thank you Legal Shield.
