So my 15 year perfect driving record came to an end last night. I got pulled over for speeding. I know I was speeding, so I'm not going to fight the ticket. I was going 57 in a 45mph zone. About an 1/8 mile up ahead, the speed limit changes to 55.

On my ticket, it states that I have to pay $140 because I was going 57 in a 40mph zone, when the speed limit sign clearly states 45mph. The price is different for only being 12mph over, opposed to the 17mph over that the ticket states. Do you think I could bring this up and pay the lower cost ($100)? I have to go to the city police station to pay the fine, so I bet the person I speak to will be familiar with the road I was on, because it's only a few blocks from the station.
