49 in a 35. A state cop got her, not locals. Oh, well ... a learning experience. Both her older brothers pulled themselves together after paying their first ticket. On the other hand, for a while, it seemed like my oldest daughter was trying to get a speeding ticket in every state!

Once she's in a lot of cops will let her slide for ticket that insignificant. I've had a couple of state cops let me go when I was out. They saw the Jarhead sticker and they ask if I was in. One of them had a conversation with me on the side of I-59 in Alabama about the Corps. He asked me a leading question to see if I was actually in and I answered it correctly. He did not tell me it was a leading question but I could tell he was feeling me out to see if I was a poser. A lot of posers out there. He was a former Marine and retired Alabama National Guardsman. Big ol' black guy. Incidentally both of the staties were black.

Local cops are not as forgiving to former and current military members. Especially the ones around the bases.
