Yeah he wasn’t speeding for an emergency… he was speeding to make an appointment. Like bruh, we’ve all got what wet might think are perfectly valid reasons to speed, doesn’t make it legal.

Everyone on here seems to be judging without access to the facts!

Others have said that the area is notorious for pressing for harsh enforcement of technical violations, so he could have been doing 21 mph in a “20 mph school zone”, outside of school drop off/pickup times.

Does anyone know what speed he was doing, and what time of day it was?

Sure. But that's an argument that cuts both ways. Do you know how fast he was going and what time of day it was?

No, I don’t, but I’m pretty sure that the judge did, so I’m willing to trust that he’s not a complete idiot.

I always make sure I'm doing 19 or less because they love to camp out there for cheap 1mph over tickets like that.
