I don’t understand what you mean when you say “but when I got the ticket I’m not so sure”.

I wasn't driving differently than anyone else in the line of cars. I figure it is safest to blend in with the locals, apparently not. And the random speed limit changes are confusing ( probably due to your twisting roadways). When I crossed the Ohio border just about the first sign I saw was "speed limit changes next five miles".

It still doesn’t make sense. You know you were speeding, and you know where and when you were stopped. Or did you mean to type “why”? Either way, if you are really concerned about your 20 bucks, give the court a call about the different ticket numbers.

You seem to be extremely inconvenienced by your experience here. Maybe you should stick to your cornfields.

Everybody here speeds (unfortunately), but everyone takes the chance at getting pulled over.

Though I will say, at least anecdotally, when I used to commute regularly an hour up and down I89 I typically saw mass/conn/nh plates pulled over. Not so much VT plates. This was state police, but I think they like to play favorites.

Less likely to show up in court if you are from out of state.

I always figured it was something like not targeting the people that live and work here so much, but you make a good point.
