It could be an accident. I got pulled over because I was just cruising around the loop in my town on a Friday with my cruise control set at the speed limit.

At the time, my college didn't have school on Fridays, so as I passed the school I asked myself, "why are there so many cars when there's no school?" Then I saw the lights.

I still maintain that the school zone lights came on after I entered the zone since the school busses weren't even lined up yet, but I was driving at a safe speed for the road itself.

The cop thought so too, since I only got a ticket for 55 in a 35 instead of in a school zone.
