first of all, you should never be in Phenix City....that place is so ass backwards it's not even funny. You know damn well once you cross the river on 80, you have already traveled back in time. They hate military, so do not try and pull that route. Two of my buddies got hit with speeding and they said pretty much pay the ticket or pay the ticket....depending how fast you were speeding, just plead no-lo and pay the fine and go about your day, the less you have to be in alabama, the better off you are.
