I get alot of speeding tickets

I think its bullshit it makes me so angry and no I'm not a bad driver or even someone that really speeds, yet I get 3 or 4 tickets a year.
I travel for work therefore I drive way more than most people. I travel about 1/6 of what a long haul trucker does.
And my speeding tickets are always baloney. Today I got one going 48 in a 30 on a highway. If you miss the tiny sign that changes the speed from 45 to 30 by one block a cop using radar is waiting behind a bush to snag you.
I think that the way tiny cities use speed traps to pad their pockets should be illegal. Speedlimit postings should be easily noticeable perhaps by flashing light or change in road design like I have seen in Europe when its such a drastic change of speed on a highway in the middle of no where.
A mile or so prior to where I got the tickets the flashing light sign said 55 and thats the last one that I saw.

I mean 48 in a 30 mph is almost 20 over. I do agree speedtraps are bullshit though

@DDonde But literally 2 miles earlier with a huge flashing sign it said 55 so I slowed to 40 something for good measure. I had no idea that I was speeding. Its a freakin highway.
