Ha at all of the posts on this thread. I wish I had seen it sooner.
I've spent 2 grand in lawyers fees this year alone. 8 citations in the last 6 months. 35 total points they have tried to stick me with. Very few of them speeding though, so I won't list them here. :)

Oh, the neat thing about being gray (me) is "The Man" doesn't stop me anymore in a car as senility can be used as excuse. On the other hand when I am riding big-bore sports bikes with full face helmets they think I am a punk kid and pop my ass like kettle corn.

Route 6 (Patterson Ave) just west of 288 interchange heading east. I'm lucky that the owner of our company has a brother, who is a big shot lawyer in Richmond. His lawyer partner represented me. He is usually just a criminal lawyer. He must have pulled some strings behind the scenes because I should have been crucified. I guess since I'm the only IT guy for the company, they didn't want me in jail or without a license. I feel quite lucky.

I-75 South headed to downtown Atlanta (in my old white Volvo 850 Turbo)..85 in a 55.
Georgia State Patrol sitting right inside where the limit changes from 65 to 55. I never had a chance. I thought oh this will be a $100 fine. WRONG! $400 damn dollars!!!!!! I should have challenged it someway. I consider it my forced donation to the corrupt City of Atlanta and the State of Georgia. Now as to the other 250,000 commuters going FASTER than me on the same road at the same moment, thats another story.

Ive had lots of warnings, one ticket for coasting down a hill and winding up 20km over the 90km/h limit. Aparently theres a cop in saskatchewan with the same last name who trains cops, so I get off with a fair number of warnings.
Went to fight a ticket once for doing 10 over just outside of my wifes hometown - the cop was the defenition of an ASSHOLE. It was dark and this guys starts tailgating me, then on comes his highbeams, its along a lake so spots to pull over are few and far between. He kept pushing me until I went over the speed limit and then pulled me over. There were over 20 people in court that same day to contest tickets from this same cop, go figure. I dont know whats the deal in the US but as far as I know here the smallest ticket is around $120 and jumps exponentially from there.

Here in Minnesota cheapest ticket is $107...for seat belt or not having license on person, speeding is $127 for 1st 10 mph over then gets expensive.

I've had two speeding tickets. Oddly enough in the first year of modifying my old supercharged Z24 cavalier.
Was gunned before the on ramp to 45 off the beltway in Houston. Pasadena patrol officer set up in the left breakdown lane. Decided to show an antagonizing prick who rode my ass how he was picking the wrong car. Was clocked at 105 in a 65. Dumb, I know. Officer was cool and dropped it to only 80. Assistant DA lowered the price tag to a cool $130. Haven't street raced since. |

Speeding is wrong. It's illegal and immoral and whatever deity is on the watch will strike you down with lightning. I pray for all of you.

I got hit with a 98 in 55 when I was 19. I saw a pair of taillights waaaay down the road and for some reason I had the bright idea to see how fast I could catch up to it. Damn reflective police sign on the sides. You cant see them unless your pointing your lights at it. I figured it out as I was passing him :( $735 it set me back. Luckily I was a lil more than a mile from my house and since I knew the Sheriff he just followed me home instead of having my truck hauled off. The only part I regret is him wakin my parents up at 2:30 in the morning and explaining what happened. I have yet to live that down.
