Not sure why you are getting downvoted the founders of the two are literally brothers and Trader Joe’s was the American version of the original Aldi’s.

Go to court on the day and plead not guilt and get a lawyer, or pay the fine and when you pay it you plead guilty and don’t go to court

Absolutely agree. The speed limits don't help my case though.

They always raise from 50 to 60 mph like two seconds before it turns to a passing lane, and I always feel like any driver who isn't aware of that just thinks I'm speeding up to prevent them from passing rather than matching the speed limit.

I almost feel like Republic to Aurora is some weird social experiment trying to make commuters angry. Billings is a wild horse. 60mph to 45 mph to 30mph to 45mph to 60mph in like a 1/2 mile. Never traveled a highway similar to it personally.

  1. Republic to Aurora is Hwy 60 and not a four lane road

  2. Roads are rated in a way that means the speed limit is the speed at which the road should traveled in ideal driving conditions

  3. 10-15 miles an hour over the speed limit is unsafe - there are a lot more serious consequences than a $108 fine

  4. Going 10 miles over the limit between Republic and Aurora saves you a whopping 3 minutes. If you are willing to drive in an unsafe manner risking other drivers to save three minutes YOU are the asshole

Likely a loose connection in one of the switches or light fixtures. A lot of older houses in this area have a general lighting circuit and the furnace pilot/blower will be tapped off of it. Thermostat will go down if the transformer on the furnace goes out.
