speeding tickets??

Chupacabra

It does fail.

I carry a big marines sticker in my back window, and most of the time, they ask me: "are you a marine?", I reply "yes". get to talk a little about it, and then they hand me the ticket.


anyways got pulled over 3 weeks ago. for getting lost on suburbia.

62 on a 35 supposedly. Saw no speed limit posted but that's not an excuse I know.. what pisses me off, is after the ticket and all I asked the guy for the second time. "how the hell do i get to commercial blvd from here?" and he just laughed and got back in his car, so there I was with a $280 ticket and lost, took me 20 min. to find my way out of that place.

this was on July 28th and still the ticket is not up for payment? is there like a limit on time, that if the cop does not provide the info I don't have to pay?

I got a ticket in my mom's Sante Fe while in uniform going to the armory. To some cops, being in the military doesn't mean shit. I was going 60 in a 55 and got a ticket.

I can't believe the majority of people in here have 30+.

A 30+ would be real expensive. Plus the insurance premiums would sky rocket!

None in the Z....and I can't touch frost's 155....but I did get a 105 in a 55 once! Two state cops sitting at the bottom of a 8% grade.....I wasn't even touching my pedal at that point. Good 'ol Virginia mountains! I passed them and knew I was screwed. I pulled over and they almost passed me back.

One tapped on the window....asked me: Where ya headed this morning?

St. Louis.

You trying to get there in the next 30 minutes?

I might have if you hadn't stopped me.

He actually laughed! I took my ticket and he let me go. Of course this was back in 1990....now there is no way in hell I'd be allowed to continue driving. Handcuffs, arrest, tossed in jail until I see the judge is my guess.

I got bumper paced doing 125..... The cops told me to throw the "F-ing keys" out the window when I pulled over. He called for backup and waited till the other unit arrived. I was pretty nervous. I thought I was going to jail for sure Lol.
"Overall Penalty"
1.) Mandatory court appearance
2.) 2 points on my license
3.) and a measly $680

Consider me lucky you guys. Ive heard of a lot worse Penalties. My car wasnt towed and I didnt get a reckless. (2am on the freeway) no traffic at all.

I just got a speeding ticket a half hour ago
cop had all his lights off and was hiding.
he clocked me at 62 in a 45 and wrote the ticket for 55.
Luckily he only clocked me at 62 while i was slowing down. I was probably doing over 100. The ticket doesnt even say how much it costs but google says 150. Im actually pretty relieved.

Get a lawyer, well worth it

Never got one in the 2 years I had my 370.

In Ontario if you are more than 30mph(50Km/h) over the speed limit they confiscate your car and licence for a week and give you a court summons. Its complete BS they charge you under a street racing law. You go to court and say I was speeding not racing and you get off the charge they need to prove you were racing. Problem is you are out of pocket $1000+ for the tow and impound and are without your license for a week. Its a case of guilty until proven innocent complete BS.

axmea?

Never ticketed. Eyes wide open and know where they can potentially perch.
