    So I drove into a weigh station doing 60 and the speed limit was 45 the little camera went off but no one followed me I was wondering will I still get a ticket? I did slow down before I got to the part where it tells you which direction to turn and it just told me to continue onto the highway what will happen?

    Nothing will happen. Obey the speed limit and that will lower your stress.
    Good luck

    Good question...I've never done that before. Where was the weigh station?

    Why didn't you slow down? I know some drivers that have gotten tickets but they were sent to the company then the company addressed the issue with them. I don't know the outcome.
     
    Steel Dragon and NavigatorWife Thank this.

    I did slow down just right before I passed the spot where the arrows tell you to either go and get weighed or continue to the highway and it told me to continue to Highway

    So you were blasting through and then hit the brakes hard just before the arrows.
    How smart is that, I wonder, and what is your rush?

    That camera was probably just a sensor activated thing to capture dot numbers as they drive by. Nothing to do with speed. The scale house near me has the same thing but it’s located on the highway right before the prepass sensor.

    I wouldn’t worry. Had you rolled through the entire weigh station at 60 they would probably hunt you down, but you did slow down so... yeah just be more careful next time.
