First speeding ticket.

I got a ticket last July for doing exactly 10 mph over the speed limit on a deserted stretch of well maintained two lane state highway. It was a bright, sunny dry day and I had my cruise control set at 60 because that's what the speed limit was all along that highway... except I had missed the sign knocking it back to 50 about 1/4 mile before I got stopped. Long story short - I called, got the price, paid the amount I was told to pay. Received a letter back from the local DA saying that since I paid so quickly the ticket would not be reported to my insurance company. Nice way to run a speed trap.
