What is the name of your state? Massachusetts
Hello all,
Well I work an hour away from work and have been driving the same route for 2 1/2 years and am now 30 but havent gotten a speeding ticket since I was 19. The problem is there is a construction zone on Route 290 in Worcester, MA that they have been working on for more than a year now. So its posted 35 MPH which Ive never seen anybody drive, so I leave work at 1 AM and by the time I get to that section its 1:30AM and the regular highway posted speed limit is 65 but I got pulled over for doing 55 MPH in a 35 MPH "Construction Zone" I am furious over this ticket as I cant see driving 35 MPH unless maybe there was actually construction being done or if it was merged into 1 lane but it was 3 lanes wide open 1:30 AM and I was doing 55MPH, 10 miles slower than the highway speed limit. I think the officer could have let me go but he gave me a $400 ticket. Now I need to know if its still a construction zone even though there wasnt any construction being done? And I also plan on appealing this case so I was wondering if anyone could give me a hand on how to present my case and what I need to say or do?
Thanks people.
