You Can't Win
Woman Ticketed For For Driving Too Slow
"BELEN, N.M. -- A Valencia County woman who was pulled over for driving too slow said state police went too far.
Jeanette Sedillo said was driving on Reinken Road in Belen, N.M., after 10 p.m. Wednesday when a state police officer pulled beside her and told her to get off the road.
Sedillo pulled into a parking lot, questioning what she did wrong.
Apparently, going too fast was not the problem: the officer wrote her a ticket for driving 6 mph under the speed limit.
"He said, 'You were going 34 in a 40,'" said Sedillo.
The citation said she violated the statute for minimum speed. Now, she has to pay a $70 fine for what she thought was careful driving.
Sedillo said there was little traffic in the area at the time and that she wasn't putting drivers in danger. She said state police went too far with the citation and that officers should be going after more serious offenders.
"They're just out to get anybody," said Sedillo."
