[Old Professer]

If the speed limit sign indicating the legal speed was above 49 MPH was visible from the point where he was ticketed and he can show this in court, then he stands a good chance for a dismissal; one other little trick is to simply ask the judge or the officer while you are in the docket to place into the record the date of the last official traffic survey for that section of road or highway where the ticket was issued; if it is way out of date, old, then the court is required to consider your speed relative to the road conditions and you may get a dismissal based simply on the failure of the state to keep up to date surveys to justify lower than legal highway limits.

Someone else told me essentially the same thing. Seeing the stop was quite literally on the edge of town, this could very well be an issue. We must go back to the scene and see if that is the case.
