Well officer, I am not equipped with a state calibrated speedometer so I can make no comment on my speed, so I must rely on your assessment.

"You took that corner too fast!!"
What speed was I travelling? Did I exceed the posted speed limit?
"No"
What is the exact lawful speed that I must travel through this corner?
"....(reaches for Taser) you were reckless"
Reckless means foolhardy, marked by defiant disregard for danger or consequences. At no point during the turn was I out of control nor was I at any point negligent in observing the conditions to ensure that no one, including myself was in danger.

12 tickets, 5 hours later in the jail cell.....
Nice!

And I don't see how they could ticket you for speeding since you didn't break any limits and there isn't one on how fast you can or cannot take a corner. If that were the case, I'd be getting pulled over quite often, bike or car.
