Generally, if I chose to speed, I pay the ticket. :shrug:

The only ticket I have ever fought was my first one - a reckless driving charge. Cop said my ten year old 1964.5 Mustang with a 200 CID straight-6 was spinning both tires for two blocks. I told the judge that if my car could do that (it didn't have the power nor a posi), I'd be glad to pay the fine but my POS car was lucky if it would bark a tire. Judge knocked it down to careless driving (I did have it to the floor while banging through the gears), which was about 1/10 the fine.

In every other case, I was at fault so I paid the fine without going to court. If I'm wrong, I'm wrong; why fight it?

Yeah, if you don't mind a point on your record and throwing away a few hundred dollars then by all means keep paying your hard work, sweat, and time to the government whom do not give a damn about your well-being
