Except if you "KNEW" the law you would not have gotten pulled over in the first place. Obeying the law is not for your determent - nor for your hindrance. 26 over is excessive. I’m not condemning you, I believe these things have happened to all of us. But with maturity and time comes the realization that a car can be a weapon – the HP should be harnessed. A crash at 35mph can do incredible damage – so double, even triple it and the affects are often catastrophic.
