Q: Can you get a speeding ticket without being pulled over by a PA State Trooper?
I wasn't paying attention to my speed and was maybe going 55 in a 45, saw the Trooper, hit my brakes and slowed down to between 45/50 by the time I passed the Trooper. Got a ways down the road and noticed said Trooper had begun to follow me, never turned on lights/sirens and exited after about a mile or so of following. Can I still get a speeding ticket since I was never pulled over? There are two other people who drive the car, does that make it less likely for a ticket since, from what I understand, they have to name the actual driver during the infraction when giving a ticket?
A:
Yes, you could possibly get a speeding citation by mail later, although I think that's unlikely. The number of people in the car, however, shouldn't have any effect on whether that happens, though.
Best of luck to you, and hope you don't get anything in the mail!
