I drove from SH 95 westbound onto 290 on a clear night. There was no other traffic. About the time that I passed under the railroad trestle, I noticed a car zooming up behind me, and the next thing you know, I got the blue light special. The cop claimed that I was going considerably faster than what I remember going, and I had been watching it that evening. He said the speed limit through the entire city was 50MPH, though the next sign I saw said 60, which was also inside the city. Be that as it may, the highway is on the very edge of town, and is 70MPH elsewhere.

There were two or three other patrol cars all within a half mile, so I’m sure that stretch of road makes them a lot of money. Don’t let it happen to you!
