Speed Violation
I got a speeding ticket yesterday by mail. When my girlfriend return to Japan, I always take her to the airport. I usually keep the speed under 90 kilometers per hour, but this month I was driving over the speed limit the police controled speeding vehicles. The speed limit is 80 kilometers per hour, but I drove 96 kilometers per hour. I didn't notice there was a speed cop. He set up a bear trap so I couldn't see him. If I had noticed he was there, I would have slowed down my speed. I have to pay about 40 dollars for over 10 kilometers than the speed limit. I can't save money if I pay the money before the police send me the official speeding ticket, so I paid the money today. I could save the 20% of the fine. Have you ever caught for overspeed? How much is the fine for the speeding in your country? In korea, it depends on how fast the drivers drive when they are caught by the police. Mine was one of the cheapest fines among the traffic violations.

Speed Violation
I got a speeding ticket yesterday by mail. When my girlfriend returns to Japan, I always take her to the airport. I usually keep the speed under 90 kilometers per hour, but this month I was driving over the speed limit where/while the police controlled speeding vehicles.

2) You need an adverb of some kind here. 'where' would mean 'in a place where the police controlled speeding vehicles', and 'when' would mean 'during a time in which police controlled speeding vehicles'.
3) Control is the present tense. When adding the past tense -ed to this word, you also and another 'l', which makes controlled.
4) A bear trap is a steel trap used to catch bears, which are large forest animals. This may have another meaning that doesn't translate well from your
5) Can't is a contraction of the negation can not/cannot. You probably meant can.
6) This either needs to be 'going over the speed limit' or 'speeding'. Either will work.
7) Korea is a proper noun (used for a specific person, place or organisation) and so needs a capital letter.
