Speeding and Other Offenses

I got stuck in a speed trap. What can I do about it?

If the speed limit was clearly marked and you were exceeding it, you should grit your teeth and pay the fine. If you think you've been unfairly prosecuted, you might report the trap to your auto club or state authorities to spare other drivers the same expense.
