I got a ticket a few months back driving through Morrow -- I wasn't really familiar with the area, so I wasn't paying attention to road signs, just going with the flow of traffic (I was in the right lane when I got pulled over LOL) -- The cop clocked me doing 81. The shitty part was that apparently there is like a 30 mile long "CONSTRUCTION ZONE" through Clayton & Henry county on 75... so the speed limit was reduced to 55. Not a super speeder, but the fine was $809 ... EIGHT HUNDRED AND NINE. Speeding fines are getting a little ridiculous these days if you ask me. Me paying money for driving too fast has not changed my driving habits, if speeding tickets weren't a revenue collection scheme, and the govt was actually concerned with peoples well being, cars wouldn't physically be able to go over 70. Easy fix, but I guess we have to get dollars somehow.
Luckily, the cop who wrote me that $809 ticket got fired & I was let off![]()
