Aaaahhhh.... The subliminal man trick!

I missed this earlier. I think Calvert is where I got mine way back around 94-95.

I was caught in one many years ago. I was going through a small town and coming to the edge of town close to where the speed limit was about to increase. There were three other vehicles in front of me. All of them had pulled out from side streets in the town. I was the only one going through the town from one end to the other. I was pulled over and ticketed for something like 10-15 over, but the officer said he had me going faster and decided to give me a break by writing it for 5 less. I was probably not going more than 3-5 over anyway, but I was the only non-local vehicle. When I asked him why he stopped me and not the first person in the line he stopped talking and became very short with me after that.

This is one example. Others get people as they are approaching a town and have not slowed down just after a decrease in the speed limit.
