Yes i know that seems excessive but here is my story.
I go to school in northern california, but i live in Socal. i take the 5 freeway straight down to get to my house and usually the flow of traffic is about 80mph for most of the trip. well all is fine and dandy until i hit the grapevine!(if you dont know what the grapevine is, its a big a** mountain i think it reaches 4,000 ft) Making it up the grapevine eats almost all the little gas i have left, so @ the top of the grapevine my fuel marks E but now its time to descend. so im like okay its downhill why not put it in neutral(MT tranny) and coast my way down so i dont waist that much fuel. so i put it in neutral and i average about 70-80mph just on gravity alone. the flow of traffic is maybe @ 70. im like thats fine im not going extremely faster than everyone else, however the posted speed limit is 55mph. next thing i see is flashing lights. i pull over and he writes me the ticket. he tells me he was gonna get someone else but that i flew by car. in my head im like my engine wasnt even running lol
well he wrote up, i was doing 85 on a 55. my question is what kind of ticket am i looking @ here? price range? do i have to go to court? traffic school?
this is my 1st offense so idk much thanx guys
