They got me on this one. We were going to my Mother in-laws funeral. I was doing 78 and just going with traffic, i was the only out of state plate that I saw and I got the ticket. I was speeding but had no idea that the limit was 65. Ecomomic hard times got me, the officer didnt care that my wifes mother had died and that she was really upset, just wanted the dollars for the state coffers.

When the posted limit is already exceeded and you weren't paying sufficient attention to the road signs in order to note the drop in the speed limit, how was that the policeman's fault? Don't blame hard times for your ticket. Pay attention when you're driving.

Douglas County Sheriff or Colorado State Patrol love to sit on I-25 inside Castle Rock city limits because of this speed drop from 75 to 65 to 75 again. They are often out a lot more during the night hours. One night driving through Castle Rock on I-25 I saw 3 people pulled over for speeding with-in a few block of each other. They love this area of I-25 for DUI busts as well.
