"RE: Speeding Tickets Suck" I received a ticket for running a red light (I did NOT run the red light... I sped up on yellow and the dern thing turned red on me as I was going through the intersection). That sucker was $100. I feel your pain. Snazzy new sigpic by Slice Ding dong the king is dead.   Top

Bucky Katt 3146 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Car Show Celebrity" 02-27-04, 02:30 PM (EST) 5. "RE: Speeding Tickets Suck" Can you challenge them? I did that once and had to appear in court over a year later. The cop didn't show up and the sppeding violation was voided. I challenge them just on principle - I believe that speeding tickets have more to do with stuffing government coffers then they do road safety and I will make it as difficult as possible for them to collect that tax.

Swami 5885 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 02-27-04, 06:49 PM (EST) 15. "RE: Speeding Tickets Suck" I can but I probably won't because it's too much bother. I told the cop I was going 70 (in a 60 mile zone) & I am sure i was. I had just merged onto the freeway and then pulled into the left lane behind another car when we went under the laser scan. He braked at once & pulled into the slow lane. I slowed too, because there were cop cars on both sides of the road with people pulled over. But I was very surprised to see the flashing light behind me about 30 seconds later. I think I got the other guy's ticket. The King is dead. The Crown is tarnished.

PepeLePew13 26135 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 02-27-04, 06:54 PM (EST) 17. "RE: Speeding Tickets Suck" Hmmmm. In that situation, I'd be lining up to scream at the city's traffic clerks that I'm filing an appeal and going to get the ticket repealed. I can do without the increase in insurance that would likely follow a speeding ticket of any kind. Insurance costs up here are spiralling out of control -- some people have had increases as much as 200% just for getting a speeding ticket or having a minor dent.   Top

Bucky Katt 3146 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Car Show Celebrity" 02-27-04, 07:35 PM (EST) 18. "RE: Speeding Tickets Suck" In my neck of the woods, all you have to do appeal is mail the ticket (or a copy of the ticket) in and right on it "I am appealing this ticket". You then wait for months and months to get your date in traffic court. "How 'bout a birdy? I got a little birdy right here."   Top

"RE: Speeding Tickets Suck" LAST EDITED ON 02-27-04 AT 02:40 PM (EST) Sorry, Swami. Speeding tickets do indeed suck. I was required to go to court for my last one because I was going 20 over. Complete waste of time and court fees. A whole 30 seconds I spent in front of that judge just for him to give me the same fine I would have had to pay had I been able to mail it in. He didn't even sentence me to traffic school, like he did everyone in front of me. Oh, and Bucky? You rock.   Top

"I don't get it..." the last time I got caught streaking I was ordered to cease and desist immediately and was fined for immoral and lewd public behavior, but it was only $20.00 and I didn't have to go in front of the judge but I did get 10 hours of community service washing police cars and - What? Oh. I've never gotten a speeding ticket. ] Praise JSlice! ;Lead Clerk   Top

Tiger Lily 1679 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Peanut Festival Grand Marshall" 02-27-04, 05:30 PM (EST) 11. "RE: Speeding Tickets Suck" Ugh. Don't you hate that? Mine won't accelerate above 30 MPH when it's less than 40 degrees outside (until I've been driving for at least 20 minutes. Then it speeds up). They key also gets stuck in the ignition during those low temperatures, and I usually have to sit in my car for ten minutes trying to turn it into the off position. Oh, and also, I have no tail lights or emergency hazards (and no money to fix them), so I can't drive at night. /whine.   Top

I have one pending were I was busted going 98 mph in a 55 mph zone -- a teensy bit bad, huh?

Swami 5885 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 02-27-04, 06:52 PM (EST) 16. "RE: My condolences" (Consults the handy chart on the back of her ticket) In Ramsey County MN that would cost you $215 for the speed, plus there are about 10 boxes of various other "unsafe" notes that can also be checked--most of them about $115 bucks more each. I'm guessing if you were going that fast a cop would give you some add-ons. The King is dead. The Crown is tarnished. (Well, it's blurred anyway...)   Top

"RE: Speeding Tickets Suck" I believe I have passed the age of 'cute enough to get a warning this time'. Or maybe it's the screaming children in the back seat.

ballerina_of_doom 1462 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Beef Jerky Spokesperson" 02-28-04, 12:02 PM (EST) 24. "RE: Speeding Tickets Suck" LAST EDITED ON 02-28-04 AT 12:03 PM (EST) Last time I got a ticket...I was going 52 in a 40. Now normally I might have gotten off with a warning, but 1) i drive a sporty ragtop, which usually pisses people off...and more importantly 2) the officer's name was "Swallows", and quite frankly, it was just too damn easy. "That's not a name, it's a sentence." "So, my friend Jerry wants to know...'Do you?' " oh it was endless....and what happened was just not pretty..... I didn't get out of that one... ps, he was cute, too....no sense of humor though....   Top

Silvergirl1 9342 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 02-28-04, 12:14 PM (EST) 25. "RE: Speeding Tickets Suck" This is so true! I only received one speeding ticket back in 1984, and I still can't get over it's suckiness, and the fact that it cost me $50. I was driving along, on a spring day when the weather is so great that it elevates your mood. I just came off a 65 mph highway and forgot to slow down to the 35 mph road speed. The cop took my speed reading just before I slowed down. I'm sure he thought I had seen him, and that was why I was slowing down, but it wasn't. The month before this, I had gotten off with a warning. I was taking my anger (room mate problems) out on my gas pedal that time, and the officer let me off with a warning. *Hugs and bumbles* Official Mermaid Spokesperson of the A.S.S. be the Survivor Game   Top

pythonfan 3348 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Car Show Celebrity" 02-28-04, 12:29 PM (EST) 26. "RE: Speeding Tickets Suck" That sucks Swami. I got a speeding ticket once. It was July. I was about 12 months pregnant and was late taking my kitten to the vet. The day before Pythonkid #1 had flung the tiny thing down the hallway, thought it might have had a broken leg. (It did not). I was going 77 in a 55. The cop, however, did not care that the cat was screaming, the tot was crying, and I was about to give birth there on the side of the road. He gave me a big old ticket. My daughter was born the next day BTW. I hope the cop read it in the paper and felt bad. LOL really, don't think I would have gotten the ticket if I hadn't had the kid with me.   Top
