I have had some wicked tickets back in my day, and still do.

Today got clocked 65 in a 35. Have to go to court to fight it so i do not get points, as my insurance is already high enough.

Anyone else have this problem? Any advice?

Slow down???

Slow down AND invest in an Escort 9500ix

Also, know your area. Its idiotic to be going 65 in a 35 anyways. If you're going to be speeding like that take a pass first to make sure there are no cops..

Find an alternate outlet for your speed fix. After I started racing auto-x and track I found that I started slowing down and driving less aggressively on the roads. Once you have a full understanding of vehicle dynamics and reactions at speed to tend to be a little more realistic about reaction time and the likelihood of crashing should something go wrong.

I was actually getting into the flow of traffic, crazy coming back and fourth. As soon as I got out into traffic and over the hill he was coming the other way. Just as I was starting to put the brake on to even out with everyone. I wasn't actually trying to speed.
