At the curve the expressway speed limit goes down to 45 MPH, most times I have driven this the traffic had been so heavy there was no way to reach this speed anyway. One day I was taking a young man with handicaps to Rush Hospital as a service to my church. This was mid day with low traffic so I forgot about the drop in speed limit and was driving 55 (30 years of driving with no ticket – I do not really speed) – I was not trying to speed and was trying to be very safe due to my passengers: the handicapped man on his way to the hospital and my children. I was given a ticket for 10 over – I was stunned I was pulled over and was by far not the fastest traveling car. The young man I was transporting was very upset and I asked the police officer to please lie to him and tell him it was ok even if he had to ticket me – he refused. Not very nice.
