Sorry to hear of your misfortune. Seems states have unreal penalties for minor infractions. You always see "Construction Zone" signs no where near any work. Think they just use that to justify double penalties.

I've found driving 5 over (8mph on a Porsche speedo) will keep you under the radar unless the officer is having a bad day. I generally don't even slow down at 5 over.

But all bets are off after dark. They use any excuse to stop you at night. They're looking for drunks (which is good) but they tend to love stopping a Porsche if you misbehave at all. Whether that's good or bad, I adjust my driving accordingly at night.

You don't say what time you were pulled over and you say you were the only one on the road. Think the latter worked against you in that you stood out in a non-crowd.
