Why not just drive under the speed limit and sober instead of giggling about avoiding penalties while endangering us all?

Note that not once did you mention that you were innocent.

Why would you presume GP was drunk?

Also, it's completely common and safe to drive slightly over the speed limit in some circumstances, and in many parts of the US it's exceedingly rare for people to drive below the speed limit as you suggest. In many places the tickets are essentially written more for not seeing the cop and slowing down than for actually doing 78 in a 65.

I was not drunk, I haven’t had a drink in over 10 years and I’ve never driven drunk.

I did not say I was innocent of the violation because I was not innocent, I never claimed to be.

Exactly, that's why I'm saying, why are you cheering about getting off on a technicality?
Because I didn’t have to pay a fine and my insurance rates didn’t go up. If you’re trying to make me feel guilty, it’s not going to work.
