"He was really sweet, though, and dropped the speed low enough so I would not get any points against my license or whatever you call it."
I got a speeding ticket, too...maybe we got pulled over by the same guy, because he did the exact same thing.
In GA, there's a joke about the fact that every freeway, expressway, etc. has lots of "Speed Minimum" Signs, rather than speed limit. Like the attitude of the GA police towards the freeways are, "We don't care how fast you're going, as long as you're not going THIS slow."
I once got a speeding ticket coming home late at night with nobody on the freeway for going 60 mph in a 55 zone. Sometimes you just gotta love the cops.
The money they make from speeding tickets is what keeps Georgia's finances in the black! LOL!
