CantStandToLook 6254 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 04-30-04, 01:19 AM (EST) "I got a ticket !!!" Don't you hate when that happens? I was on my way back to civilization from bumf**k, colorado...otherwise known as Lamar, CO...think fly into Denver and drive 3 hours to the middle of nowhere. Apparently even though you could see nothing but grass for 3 miles in every direction, they're still pretty strict about that whole speed limit thing. I mean 90 seems fast when you're in the city...but when you have no frame of reference other than grassy fields for 20 miles....you hardly realize you're going that fast. Oh well...cop said it must be the engineer in me? wtf.. Another interesting thing I've noticed in my travels, it doesn't matter how small or remote the town you visit..they always have at least one Chinese Restuarant. How is that possible? I've been in some places where people looked at me like I was a national landmark or something..there are so few people of color..lol. Yet, even in these small towns there's always one chinese family living the American dream. Ok enough of my late night ramblings...carry on with your business. BTW...can anyone think of a good way to expense a $139 dollar speeding ticket...think I could say it was a toll..haha. Handcrafted by RollDdice eh..you talking to me *wags fingers* are you talking to me   Top

You just had to get home where internet access was better so we could chat, huh? *Smoochies babe!* Sigpic crafted by the master himself, IceCat!   Top

CantStandToLook 6254 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 04-30-04, 03:06 AM (EST) 7. "RE: I got a ticket !!!" I told the officer that it was a life or death matter and if I didn't talk to Asrai soon, I would have to be admitted..hehe. Actually...I knew I was probably speeding but it really doesn't feel like you're moving when there are no buildings, trees or animals within miles to give you a reference for how fast you're going.

Jims02 7407 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 04-30-04, 01:51 AM (EST) 2. "RE: I got a ticket !!!" I thought you said that you got the golden ticket. A very different matter. $139 expense? Just pretend like you don't acknoledge the number 139, cover your ears, and scream "LALALA" repeatedly. I do that all the time. People seem to leave me alone after that. Jims02: Hates speeding tickets   Top

wandacal 4018 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Jerry Springer Show Guest" 04-30-04, 02:02 AM (EST) 3. "RE: I got a ticket !!!" Sweetie? That's NOT why people leave you alone... Hand-picked by JSlice! Sorry about the ticket CSTL. Officer DH suggests you use this oldie but goodie: "Your honor, I would like to know the date and time the arresting officer's radar gun was last re-calibrated." If it's been more than 3 months, you may have a chance. Google "Colorado Radar Gun Laws" or something of that ilk. In California, you'd have a 40/60 chance in your favor.   Top

"RE: I got a ticket !!!" lol...thanks...but I dont know if I want to spend $300 to fly back to Denver so I can contest the ticket..lol. It just really sucked cause there really is nothing out there and I didn't see him because he was behind a semi coming the other direction. I figured with the almost absolute zero traffic along that highway they would cut me some slack. Handcrafted by RollDdice eh..you talking to me *wags fingers* are you talking to me   Top

Cows, cows and more cows. Those long stretches of field after field are a b!tch, and the cops looove to sit and create speed traps. Sorry about your ticket, dude.

beesknees 327 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Cooking Show Host" 04-30-04, 08:36 AM (EST) 17. "Me too!" My first ticket ever. I commute about 150km a day, every week day, and have for the last 5 years. I tend to have a lead foot, and this is the first time I've ever gotten a ticket. Even though I knew it was bound to happen, it was still traumatic! I was doing 115km in an 80km zone. Everyone else does it- they just didn't get caught. The cop tsk tsk'ed me (very irritating) and gave me a lecture and a 100$ ticket. I hear that highway cops need to fill a certain quota of tickets every month. It's the end of the month and hello! there are cops all over the place. They have completely taken the joy out of driving for me. My husband (who is a metalsmith) was so sweet- he made me lead foot (literally, a foot shape out of lead) as a memento.   Top

CantStandToLook 6254 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 04-30-04, 08:42 AM (EST) 18. "RE: Me too!" Let's all boycott our tickets together...we'll ride the bus from now on..that'll show them. Ok maybe not..but yeah...they do the quota thing here in Atlanta too. I think I was just very unlucky...there's so much open road and nothingness where I was in colorado that it's hard to believe he was out there trying to make a quota. My copper made a comment about me being an engineer and engineers having a thing for speed..ummm ok. I did have a rad Widetrack Pontiac Grand Am rental. It looks a lot faster than it actually is so maybe that was part of it but then again when you're one of only well one car on that stretch of road...guess you're gonna get noticed. Handcrafted by RollDdice he on the other hand was hidden behind the 18 wheeler coming in the other direction   Top

beesknees 327 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Cooking Show Host" 04-30-04, 09:26 AM (EST) 20. "RE: Me too!" I think I was unlucky too. The stretch I was on is also really flat and straight. Following the speed limit on this road is excrutiating (and I would know, because the cop followed me after he gave me the ticket- I hated every stinking minute of it). The cop was actually on the opposite side of the road, driving in the opposite direction from me when he put on his flashy lights and signaled me to pull over. That's why I like to travel in pods (with a bunch of other cars)- even if the pod is speeding, it's harder to pick one car off. I was trying to catch a pod when I got caught.   Top

Breezy 18380 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 04-30-04, 08:26 AM (EST) 15. "RE: I got a ticket !!!" Turn in the ticket on your expense report with the explanation of... you were speeding, because you were late for the airport and if you would have missed your flight it would have cost the company even more money to get you home. *waves*   Top

CantStandToLook 6254 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 04-30-04, 08:34 AM (EST) 16. "RE: I got a ticket !!!" lol...I like that one. You know I missed my flight out to bumf**k on monday. Had to pay the $25 thingie to get on a later flight. Funny thing though, I ran into another co-worker yesterday who also flew into Denver on monday and was on my original flight. They had someone get sick midflight and had to turn around and fly to memphis and wait two hours before they could take off again for Denver. I missed the flight, caught a flight 2 hours later and made it to Denver before him. I'll just tell the judge I couldn't see the spedometer because I had visions of all you lovely OT peeps running through my head. Handcrafted by RollDdice maybe I can add to the rental cost and say it was a performance luxury tax..hehe   Top

Breezy 18380 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 04-30-04, 09:14 AM (EST) 19. "or" you could add it on and say that the rental company took one look at your big feet and tacked it on. Just say no to trolls.   Top

I thought of golden tickets when I say your thresd, too, CSTL -- your tale is one more reason why I don't drive. You can get a hefty ticket for riding MUNI without proof of payment, though -- had to talk my way out of one of those recently. I act like I'm about to cry.

But I couldn't find my transfer. I don't usually get fast passes because I lose them mid-month. I had so many old transfers fluttering out of my purse that the cop eventually concluded I do, generally, pay, and the transfer was probably in there somewhere.

I too have travelled the vast open prairie lands of the mid west and it is easy to get going too fast. 2 words: Cruise Control. Set it, relax and enjoy the scenery (translation: try to stay awake as the miles of nothingness creep by). I am reminded of the joke / urban ledgend of the guy who was sent an automated speeding ticket with a picture of his car, the spped he was going and a ticket. He took a picture of the money and sent it back. The cops sent a picture of handcuffs. He sent the money.   Top
