That's what happened to me...
I was doing 30 in a 30 zone, and everything was right with the world. The flow of traffic started to speed up to compensate for the increased limit 100m away. I was doing 40 when I passed the Limit 50 sign. Then I saw lights behind me.
"Driver's licence and registration." What was this then.
"Is there something wrong, Corporal?" I asked. Be polite, I reminded myself.
"Do you know how fast you were going back there?" He huffed.
"Um, yeah, I was doing 30, like the limit says."
"NO YOU WEREN'T! I CLOCKED YOU AT 40!" He just snapped. He was about an inch from sticking his head in the car. I looked at my buddy, and we just laughed.
"Okay, but if I was, then it is because I was following the flow of traffic. the speed changes right back there." I could still see the shiny metal on the back of the 50 limit sign.
"THAT DOESN'T MATTER! YOU WERE DOING 40!!!"
"You aren't really going to give me a ticket, are you?" I was losing my cool.
"Driver's licence and registration..."
"This fucking guy is giving me a ticket!" I tell my buddy.
"DRIVERSLICENCEANDREGISTRATION!" The wooden bullet screams.
So I handed them over, and he went back to the car, and he came back with the ticket.
"There is no way I am paying this." I state, matter-of-factly.
"We'll see about that."
And then I continued clearing out of the base, since I was posted. I left Manitoba the next day. Fucking prick.
