Driving through a construction zone, you should have the common sense to SLOW DOWN because of the human beings at work, but that's not always the case.

Easton Corbin was on a freeway and two lanes were about to merge into one. Corbin was behind a truck, so, he did what most of would do... speed up to get around the truck before the lanes became one.

Too bad for Easton, there was a trooper sitting right there watching the area and clocked him at 85-miles-an-hour!

Corbin had this to say about being pulled over, "The cop comes up to me, and he said, 'You was going 85 or 87 in a construction area.' I just started cringing . . . a construction area going that fast. And he said, 'Man, I just couldn't let you go.'"

Corbin had to hire an attorney to pay the ticket, which cost him ONE-THOUSAND-DOLLARS.

Ouch, but I don't feel bad for him. Slow down through construction zones.
