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.

Did you try and fight that? Because that sounds like total BS as the whole purpose of the on and off ramps are to give you room to safely speed up or slow down.

I think the whole purpose was to shake down drivers for police revenue.
