I ain't got no answer for ya, but I am curious. Just how high off the ground was the speed limit sign?

My question to you is, why would the state intentionally install a sign in violation of a state law if it was known that it could be a cause to have citatations dismissed? Someone is feeding you a line of bull, if that is your only defense, you do not have one.

My response: what was the posted speed limit and what was the speed noted on your ticket?

well what about going back to the exact spot and taking lots of pictures?

did you see the speed sign? was it blocked by a tree a truck or a bush? was it on a curve?

pictures will tell if you might have defense.

and don't forget to bring a shovel
