I live Georgia, and I received a ticket for 44mph in a 25mph school zone. I honestly did not know I was breaking the law and here's why...
The road is a 4-lane highway. The normal speed limit is 45mph. The route I take, I recently found out goes around the flashing lights on that highway, so I entered the highway after the flashing lights. I told the officer, and he said there were some on the road I came from. Later that day, I drove back to that spot to see if there were flashing lights and the school zone sign was posted but there were no flashing lights or times posted for the school zone. so I thought that I was obeying the posted limit.
There were no children in sight.
Had I known that it was a school zone, I would have slowed down! I feel like I got scammed by the government.
The date on my ticket is in January, and I'm not going to just pay a fine and admit fault to something that I know I did not do wrong. I cannot afford a ticket either.
What should I do?
