speeding tickets??

I've seen a safety corridor in new mexico, where practically the whole state is a safety corridor. Seems like a good way to get more money out of people.

Still waiting on my Z I ordered in early July. Have not had a ticket since 1992, but got one at the end of July going 67 in a 50 in my G35. Can't believe I got one just before getting the Z.

In CA you can fight the ticket through the mail. Cop doesn't get paid overtime to fill out response paperwork. He doesn't get to see you in court to remind him of anything you may have said or done. If he doesnt' respond, case dismissed. If he does respond and you lose you can still go to court and fight it and hope he doesn't appear. If he doesn't case dismissed.

I've helped a couple of friends get out of tickets this way.

I learned all about how to fight traffic tickets in court when I successfully beat a red light photo ticket. I haven't had a ticket on my record in over 12 years.

Got pulled over on 71 in Ohio outside of Cinci doing 148 (that's what he clocked me at anyways). Got lucky the guy that pulled me over was a fellow Corporal of mine that just got out of my unit 3 months prior. Gets to the window goes "why you driving this instead of your supra?"... someone up there is lookin out for me

I got pulled last year for doing 95 in a 55 on the interstate at 3 a.m., officer pulls me over and all I said was "I am on call my patient is dying", he let me off, even though my patient wasn't dying right at the moment I was called in for something else.

Well I've been over the legal limit, but no speeding tickets, and I have not been pulled over. My last speeding ticket was in 1994 on my CBR 600 in New Mexico, on I25, I was clocked by airplane at 125, and pulled over by the state police. They weren't happy, but since I was in the military they let me go with a court appearance, and that is a whole other story!

I've had my Z since Feb. Here's the tix I've gotten so far:
95 in a 55
78 in a 65
53 in a 40
I also got pulled over once for not having the front plate on. Needless to say, my attorney loves me since I'm helping put his kids through college....

And i thought my one ticket was bad...

87 in a 55.
About 2 weeks after I got it.
Ended up getting a PBJ due to a clean record.

Here in ontario, pigs do not discriminate. They ticket everyone equally. If it's a speed trap, anyone less than 15 km/h over the limit gets a free pass, 15-20 over is usually ok but sometimes they pull you over, especially if it's the beginning of their shift and they wanna rack up the tickets to get their quota. However, if you are more than 20 km/h over the limit, you're almost certainly guaranteed to be ticketed, doesn't matter if you're driving a ferrari or a dodge caravan. They tend to set their speed traps at specific well known locations that dont change, so if you know a neighbourhood, you know where they hide. And they tend to be VERY active on weekends and statutory holidays, where traffic is light, roads are empty, and that throttle pedal becomes that much harder to resist.

I know a lot of military people that have gotten out of tickets because they were in the military. I did once get a ticket in Alamogordo New Mexico for, and I **** you not, 39 in a 35.
