Hello,
I need a bit of advice. I was pulled over on the new north Texas express lanes. I was doing about 85 mph while everyone else was going around 80.
Here's why it's bothering me though, there isn't a single speed limit sign along the entire length of the express lanes. The state trooper informed me of article 545.352 which sets the speed limit to 70 mph. After that he handed me the citation, I thanked him for his work and drove off.
So the violation is for 10% over the speed limit. Now I understand paying for the speeding but what has me upset is the potential surcharge on my license.
This was an honest mistake, I mean after all how could I possibly know about that article. It's definitely not covered in drivers ed.
I guess my question is, what would be the best way to handle this?
Thank you,
Manuel
