That's great. Keep up the good work.

People always drive slow until I pass them. Then, their little ego's get a wedgie and they suddenly feel like trying to keep up with my bumper within about 6 inches.

ive had a few spending tickets in a few states. one recently on vacation, trying to get there fast and see family i was going 87 in a 70 = $120 :/ https://img62.imageshack.us/img62/5581/fbj4fbjpg.png

i got a hair cut today, then went to the book store because i have a gift card for 40 dollars there. might get a album though, or use it to buy gifts for christmas. i dont want to read any other books besides the two school books i have now. target has that mac n cheese i like with chipotle and chicken in it. got 3. they only had one box of dark chocolate granola bars, so i had to look for something else.

have a nice day music banters :beer:

I went to the courthouse on the date that was given to me and was asked to meet privately with the cop that wrote the ticket and his supervisor. They asked me to tell my side of the story and afterwards they said "we'll lower the fine from $230 to $50 if you agree to pay it or you can go before the judge and we'll ask for the full $230 if you're found guilty." I was prepared to challenge the ticket in court on a technicality (even though I knew I was guilty) but at that point I figured I'd just pay the lowered fine and not waste any more of my time at the courthouse. The best part was that It never showed up on my record so my insurance wasn't affected.

That's really cool, actually, and that it worked out.

Mine was similar, about 75 to 80 in a 55 MPH zone. In my case the cop got me and the other guy, so I don't think I was going to get out of it. I hate the courts and lawyers and all that, but I did get it fixed as I had money from my summer job and didn't want my insurance going up. Who knows if the mathz would've workout out (been cheaper) with an insurance cost bump had I just let it go through, but there isn't a guide for that sort of thing on how much they would raise it and I didn't want to risk it.

I get ticketed regularly but never get angry about it.
If you drive above the speed limit it's your own fault and nobody else's. Deal with it.
Of course it helps that the fines in Germany aren't particularly high.

Ask if he got it on radar and if the radar detector has been tested for accuracy lately because you totally wasn't speeding and the cop hates you because you're black.

Lol, forgot that in the barbaric US you get actually pulled over by a cop and ****.
Here you just get photographed by traffic cams with radar and get a letter afterwards.

We have those at some intersections. They usually shorten the time of the yellow light for an extra buck or two.

Those are the worst. 2 of the only 3 tickets I've gotten in the last 10-15 years were red light (s)cams. The other was a 47 in a 35 by a sneaky ****er that sat right at the limit change from 45 down to 35. I probably could've contested it, but I just mailed in the fine and took the traffic school to keep it off my record.
