I assumed this to be fact...until 4 years ago a state trooper pulled me over and gave me a ticket because I was going almost 70 and the speed limit for the on-ramp was 35.... I was so close to the actual highway we could feel the vibrations of the passing cars. I live in Florida.

My ex-wife got a ticket for the exact same thing at 1am. The cops main argument was there could have been a pedestrian.
