Ok, so I haven't an excuse but have you flown the Bush and seen the speed limit sign to the far right that says 45. Of course you are at the far left at altitude and are on cruise, surrounded by other flyers. You enter the toll ( the one you use when you have a toll tag) Upon exiting you get stopped for speeding. Officer I was doing speed limit (60 mph) "Yes, you were, the speed limit entering is 45" the sign is down there. Well, what about the others, " I was keeping up with traffic, couldn't slow down or would have been tail gated. I really thought the 45 for slowing to enter the lane to pay.

We must wait until a horrific accident occurs and then after the carnage, if one can walk away or after the County spends thousands on health care and after the healing then back accross free and clear. Why can not all who want our services follow rules and laws. Please don't tell me that is to much to ask and it's to hard. This person will not listen...
