Got my first ticket in the Nismo
 
Popped for 70 in a 35 zone on a back road. A day earlier on that same road I made a turbo 911 driver very angry that my 32k car was able to stay in front of his 130k car. No kill stories on here or illegal stuff, but rest assured on a bunch of turns I looked in my mirror and he pushed wide and almost ditched it more than once. So Sunday morning I'm on a great stretch of road all by myself with the radio on and I got nabbed. It's in md but I have a DC license, not sure if the md ticket will put points on my DC license. So I'll pay the 290 dollar ticket plead guilty and see what happens. So I need to dial back and go to the track. I'm almost 50 and the cop was maybe 25, he seemed a bit flummoxed that an "old" was going that fast. Oh well pay to play. This Nismo will get you in trouble!

I can't help myself at times, I live and work in the city so I only drive on weekends and once I get out and the Nismo is warmed up its hard not to let it rip. But I should slow down some and I will. I'll have to get to Summit or NJMP in the spring. When it gets much colder than 49 or so, the tires don't grip much anyhow and we are getting to that point.

Send in a check for $295 when you pay the ticket. They will process your ticket and you will have a "credit" on your account leaving it in an "open" status. (Usually it's in an "open" or "pending" status because people have NOT paid, but in this case it's just the opposite) You have a good chance of the ticket never reflecting any points on your license because your account is still "open" even though you paid and are no longer owing them anything. Basically, your ticket gets paid but it doesn't get passed that stage so you never get any points taken off your license.

It doesn't always work, but it's worth a shot. (Clean driving record here) :tup:

Maybe the cop was that Porsche Turbo guy indeed! That's why OP got ambushed second day???:stirthepot: OP, did you see "Speeding - $10, Beating a Porsche - $280" on your ticket???

All right I am done.:icon17: Sorry OP. Just joking... Good luck. Hope you don't get points on your license.

It was Patuxent River road not far from the trailer park. I have tried all kinds of searches to see if a Md ticket will put points on my DC license. But no luck in getting that information, so I'm not sure what happens. It's 5 points in MD and 6 in DC for going that fast above the limit. I sure don't want that! I think the locals have bitched about people speeding on that road and they stepped up patrols. It's a popular road for bikes and cars.
