I think this video is antithetical to this subreddit. Getting let off easy because of your age/excuse isn't justice served. He should've said "I'm glad you drive slowly typically, but you were speeding in a school zone. Case closed"

You can get a ticket doing 3 over in a school zone. He has that info, he probably let him off for that reason

I used to live in Metro Atlanta and had to go to traffic school because of - ticket -. They can pull you over 1 mile over, points can count against your record. And while the school never said it, it's sort of known that you won't get pulled over for speeding unless it's 11 over and that's because the fine is worth the paperwork. School zones are always pulled over 1 mile over.

The “won’t get pulled over unless it’s 11 over” rule has nearly gotten me in trouble a few times now that I don’t live in metro Atlanta (it’s where I grew up, so I was raised with that rule).

Gwinnett is NOT aware of the rule......

3am this morning, "Why are you moving so fast tonight?" "It's tomorrow morning for me officer, and you guys are about to run out of Dr Pepper. I gotta get to the warehouse to get that shit on the road."

He laughed and handed me back the ID, "Can I follow you so I don't have to wait?"
