What is the name of your state? Georgia
I recently got a $180 ticket in South Carolina for going 76 in a 55 on a 2-lane highway. I sped up to pass two cards going 53, then dropped the cruise control back to 60. The officer said that in SC you can't go above 55 to pass. I was pretty upset, but it's too far away to go to court. What really has me fuming is the South Carolina statutes for 15-25 mph over the posted limit is minimum of $50, and not to exceed $75. So how can they charge me $180? It wasn't a work-zone or anything else special.
I will be in Iowa on the court date. Is this worth having the date changed and driving 150 miles to fight in a South Carolina court?
