The cop didn't write the ticket for 71 mph (1 mile over the limit) and that's my point.

No cop with half a brain would write a ticket for 1 mph over, especially on open, rural highways where speed limits range from 55 to 70. If a person were to contest one of these tickets it would probably get dismissed before reaching court. Most judges would probably come down hard on LEOs...

Maybe he went south for spare parts.

And the location of that hand hold is forward of center, closer to the hinges, which doesn't provide enough leverage to hold on securely to such a large door. I had been more concerned about losing the back door to wind when opening it from the inside. The only thing to hold on to is the lock...
