Received a Speeding Ticket today...in the mail!
Looks like the DC area has a means of handing out speeding tickets...or should I say mailing them. Just received a ticket for 55 in a 40 on route 50 (heading east). The ticket was sent to me by mail and was a picture of me speading, obviously taken from a moving vehicle.
Dang...DC sure is high tech for keeping us honest

There's a notorious photo radar trap on New York Ave/Rt 50, just before the speedlimit increases to 50/55 mph. Its apparently a huge money maker and has recently come under scrutiny. Look for info online in washpost.com or wtopnews.com.
Also, if you get a ticke in DC, I have a name at home for a lawyer who does a LOT of work handling DC (only) traffic tickets. Send me a PM if you want his name/#.

The photo radar tickets can't really be fought these days.. No points associated with them. So you just contribute to the "Annual Police Fund" against your will. If you take it to court, they just tell you to get the money from the "friend" you loaned the car to.

QUICK! Report it stolen (and you can "hide" it at my house). Leave the key
