Sweetie . . . yeah, it does suck but you were going over the speed limit by almost 30 m/hr!!! The city spends a lot of money choosing speed limits. Even though you may have been the only person around, they may have decided on that limit because a big turn was just around the bend (please don't argue with me about the road, I have no clue what the dealio is there. If you disagree with the speed limit a) contest the ticket b) contact your city councillor).

Also, er, a seat belt is a good idea.

Judging from your post, I am going to go out on a limb and ask if you were being a bit obnoxious to the coppers and could that be why they honked, etc.?

Ranger...I'm sorry for your bad luck...but hun, you admittedly were speeding. OK, so all the lanes were empty and therefore you weren't endangering anyone but yourself...but the limit is there for everyone, not just to bust YOUR balls when you are alone on the road.

I highly doubt that the cops were sitting incognito just to bust you and piss you off! They are doing the job they were hired to do! If you choose to give them a reason to stop you (and with each ticket you got...you had a choice in the matter beforehand), they will do their job and you'll pay the price.

And I've gotta ask...why in the world weren't you wearing your safety belt? It's been proven to save lives more times than not and I find it second nature now to wear it at all times in a moving vehicle. Regardless of it being "the law", it's smart to wear it and a nice thing to do for one's self!

Sorry if this seems callous...I'm just putting myself in the situation and thinking I'd deserve the tickets if it happened to me.

Yeah ... what ^^^^^ they said ....




... and with a new month, they probably had to start on a new quota.


(Seriously, the real bummer is when it's only a question of 5 or 6 miles over the limit.)

oh i know... and i was breaking the law.. no contesting it.. and no they weren't hidden.. right out at the pull out of a graveyard in plain sight.. i prolly could have seen them from a ways off had i had my brights on.. but i didnt.. and by the time i did there was no point in my even hitting the brakes cause thats just asking for it.. so i just let off the gas and let it coast.. didn't help much seeing as i was slightly downhill.......

Nah no turns or anything on that stretch of the road is a straight shot for well over 6 or 7 miles.. i'd say... but i dunno i'm jsut bummed out big time cause of the ammount of money.. its gonna make me broke ... like dangerously broke...... in a time that i really really shouldnt be..


oh and no.. i didn't hassle the cops at all i was very nice and cooperative.. actually it was them that was being dicks.. the one asked me right as he was letting me go if i had any weps int he car.. Guns.. knives.. bombs.. grenades even and he said the last two jokingly so trying to lighten the situation i was like oh yea.. i got a case of grenades in the back with a pack of rpg rockets...
the fucking dick... frowned at me and asked me to step out of the car this is after giving me the ticket and saying i was free to leave.. and then they searched the car.. what fuckheads.. i mean i had JUST cleaned the fucking car.. they tore al lthe magazines out of the pockets behind the drivers seat.. tore my plastic bags with cleaning supplies in the trunk. apart and scattered that shit all over my fucking freshly cleaned car.. and then the dick even fucking put his hands all over the fresh wax job... god i'm so pissed now theirs hand prints on the paint and tomorow if the sun comes out i need to redo the wax..

ranger, after i got all my speeding tickets (i was a crazy driver back in the day) with each one they let me make payments on them, i had to go to court and talk to the judge and tell him my financial situation but all the judges were cool because i was polite , and honest with them. i know the feeling i just got a speeding fine in the mail i was only goin 3 over (now that makes me pissed) and i got caught by a camera , no cops to pull us over here they do it the lazy way so u cant even flirt ur way into a warning LMAO!!! its 60pound fine or 120dollars for 3 miles over ,

I completely agree with Alasse.

My sister's ex is a cop & he told me that cops do prefer that you slow down when you see them because it shows respect. He is the biggest speed demon I know, too. He knows people like to go fast but if you don't brake when you see them, you're essentially giving them the finger.

Also, I owe *cough* a lot of money in parking tickets & haven't paid them yet & I've not had a car in months. If it's going to make you dangerously broke, don't pay them or, like nikki says, go and plead your case.
