Sweetie . . . yeah, it does suck but you were going over the speed limit by almost 30 m/hr!!! The city spends a lot of money choosing speed limits. Even though you may have been the only person around, they may have decided on that limit because a big turn was just around the bend (please don't argue with me about the road, I have no clue what the dealio is there. If you disagree with the speed limit a) contest the ticket b) contact your city councillor).

Also, er, a seat belt is a good idea.

Judging from your post, I am going to go out on a limb and ask if you were being a bit obnoxious to the coppers and could that be why they honked, etc.?
