If you think you won't get a ticket speeding up from 35 to 55 BEFORE reaching the sign, think again. I was stopped in Alaska for doing just this out of Seward, I think they did this to help with city finances. I told the nice officer that I was speeding up to meet the next posted speed, he said that was wrong, that you speed up AFTER passing the higher speed sign. I agree with the cities needing the extra revenue and traffic fines seem to be a good way to do that. It is funny here in SoCal, the folks will be speeding about 10 over until they see a cop, then every brake light in town comes on. I also agree with the cell phone comment, that is downright dangerous, so is eating, drinking, reading a book, putting on make-up, combing ones hair and many other things that keep us from paying attention. But alot of us do it.
