Oops, forgot to mention it correctly. I DID not know that my speedometer
was broken. I said with a very straight face that I was doing 74 to the 
ticketing officer. She must have thought that I was a liar when she gave me 
the ticket for 80. I noticed afterwards that the mile markers on high ways 
are consistently about 10% off from my odometer, which makes me believe
that my speedometer might be off too, which seems to coincide with my observation. 
Unfortunately, I am right now in CA for the summer to plead this personally.

Thanks,
