4 tickets - please advise.

CrownR426

1.)How many points do you have already?
2.)Are you eligible to pay off tickets without any points?
3.)You're not as screwed as you think you are... Just get ready to pay 500+
Gotta pay to play, sucks you got caught...
Get a V1!

I like the passport myself, but regardless, I agree on getting yourself a good fuzz buster. The thing only has to work once to pay for itself.

My tints came with a sticker from the installer stating they are legal but dont know how far that would work if I was ticketed for it. Sometimes you gotta pay to play. And at a fairly young age ins is going to go way up. Good luck.

When the cop hands you four tickets, just say 'no thank you'. Then make a snide comment about his trooper hat, spit on his aviator glasses and whack him with your door.

That way, we'll have one less reckless driver on the streets doing 97mph. Drive the speed limit and sign up for a track day.

Actually I just did the math.. OT pay would be $78/hour for a top pay PO

How fast was the guy going that you were tailgating? Or was it more like a "closing too quickly" rather than a "following too closely" lol.

Has anyone caught on 97 and tailgating!
Sorry if you were following that close at 100
you had it coming. that's why the cop busted you for the tint.

i'm all for a good time but here i would have ended up riding home in the back
of a patrol car

Yep I'm glad he was generous and gave me an 80 on a 55 when I was actually going faster.. ::

The "tailgating" really occurred because of bad timing - I was revving to exit out of the HOV lane and the cop happened to spot me right then. Few seconds before that, the car ahead of me was far enough.

i think your insurance will not go up as much/you won't get as many points if you get the 80 in a 55 + the tint tickets instead of getting the 97 in a 55 and no tint tickets. you made out ok given the circumstances. I've not gone past 90 in my car and that was once right after i got past 1200 miles.

I honestly don't understand the tint laws in NY. 75% seems rather arbitrary. I agree too dark a tint (less than 25%) poses dangers to officers, but aren't we allowed some form of privacy. Tints darker than 75% are allowed for rear side windows for SUV's and Minivans in NY but not cars? Makes no sense. I've seen crackdowns on tints over the years and have yet to find any significant study on how tinted windows endanger the public, other than hearsay. If tinted windows are so dangerous, why do public official vehicles seem to have blacked windows on most of their cars. Why are they entitled to privacy and not the rest of us. In my previous car, the office just told me to pay the fine and hope I didn't get pulled over again. Seems like they just use it to make some money or to pile on the tickets like the OP.

Just my .02 cents.
