No, getting pulled over going 3mph over the speed limit is dumb.....and getting a ticket on top of it.

I completely agree, it is - but you can go to court and easily argue yourself out of that one. So, you're dumb if you dont go and fight a 3-over ticket lol.

Also, its dumb on the part of the cop to even CONSIDER issuing a 3-over, since it'd be so easy to argue out of.

Cliffs?

And there's a LOT of context that goes into arguing tickets. In my case, my record is clean. I can easily walk in and show my clean record as reference, not to mention note the variations in speedometers and tire wear can slightly alter a speedo's readout. If it wasnt bumped down to a non-moving at MINIMUM, I'd be shocked.

But if your *** has a bunch of tickets already, you may not get shit.

Definitely, youd be an idiot to not fight that one.....but when you live 8 hours away (this was in Grand Island btw) that makes it difficult. I tried to adjust the court date to accomodate me so im up there seeing the inlaws but they woudlnt budge, so I had to take the hit. son of a b!tch.

Yeah I know, I remember this situation now. You were hosed off the get-go, and that sucks. But, lets go off the assumption that you HAVE the ability to argue it... lol

Madison. No surprise to anyone who has driven through there

I now live in Madison, al. They pull me over for driving too slow

I wish I could say I was shocked. My sister went to UVA as well and one of her roommates got a ticket for 3mph over as well in Greene county. Since I heard that story, I set the CC for 3 UNDER the limit going through there

Ugh, I'm still mad about it.

I was always uber careful around cville because of all the horror stories I heard about bogus tickets for as little as 1 over.

I'm always careful down around Richmond. They always seem like they are out to get everyone.
