[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Go to court, plead guilty with an explanation.  Explanation - you had been there before 6 months ago nor whatever, and it was 45. Uou don't travel that way often and didn't realize the change (it did just happen). Likely you'll have to pay the fine but they will knock off the points.

Except that there are movable neon signs that have been in place since teh change alerting people.

Were you possibly going higher than 44 and the cop actually did you a favor and listed it that way to not to trigger a greater fine and points?[/quote]

I wonder that too.  If you were really going 44, you would have almost certainly been moving well with the flow of traffic and it would seem odd he would pick you off for that.  Also, while there is of course no written rule about giving you a 10 mph buffer, that does seem to be the case in practice.[/quote]

When the MoCo cops actually come out they have to go home with X number of tickets and revenue. They have no incentive to not pull over as many people as they can. Especially in the rich people areas.[/quote]

I don't know about that.  They had a trap set a while back to catch people making a right that is illegal from 4-7 in downtown Bethesda and they gave a slew of people warnings when they could have given a ton of tickets.
