Another "I Got Pulled Over" Thread

[vietkid_2006]

Well today this morning i was coming from my aviation class back to school.

and so i took the freeway and it was a 60mph speed limit.

so i was traveling 65mph.

and i got pulled over. the cop said it's a speed trap. obviously now i see a car pulled over to the side.

and 4 other cop cars fly by while i was pulled over.

thing is they set up the trap where the speed limit drops right down to 55mph.

so i got clocked at 67mph and dropped down to 65mph with a 76.40 dollar fine.

i know i sped. but speed trap? that's harsh. /rant.

If all it is is a $76 fine and no points, consider yourself lucky.

In the past year I have had 2 tickets written for a speed over 80 mph. That requires a court appearance. Each of them cost me at least $200.

I find it funny that people always bitch about speed traps. My thought is, if you're obeying the limit, you don't get caught. You know the laws, they have signs posted about the limit. If you choose to break the law, be prepared to face the consequences. You got lucky on the low fine, like G-Man said. pay it, learn from it.

i know i sped so i agree to the risk of getting caught.

insurance will still go up because regarless if its points or no points its still on your driving record and thats what insurance looks at.

True, you will still get insurance points by paying the ticket. You basically plead guilty by doing that.

My tickets were taken care of by taking a safe driving class which changed my plea to something called prayer for judgment, which kinda makes it look like I did not get a ticket. The second one, I hired a lawyer and they were able to get it changed to improper equipment which is not a moving violation.

I've been pulled over 4 times in 2 weeks

haha i wasnt speeding but i have a auto and i decided to drop it to first and gun it to the speed limit of thirty and well my radar wasn't going off so i was like go for it! well as i take the first turn and come to the stop sign like just a block down i notice a cop was like wtf really?! and all he said was
cop:you in a hurry
me: nah just making my car sound loud
cop:hmm you know that was a school zone right
me:yup
cop: is your window tint legal
me: yup went to court about that 2 months ago
cop:really?(and a shocked look but disappointed look)
then he did his usual thing in his car and came back and asked if i had anything in the car that i shouldnt and i said i dont think so
well he did a small search found nothing and then was like alright well im gonna let you go with a warning. lol
and i hate franklin cops there always trying to find anything they can to get kids like me...and i believe that he didnt give me a ticket cuz i saw him look right at my radar. lol second time that thing has saved me cuz i would have brought that shit up in court! lol

DUDE JUST PAY IT! that is nothing!!

In NYC that shit is expensive

I got pull-over for doing 79 in 50. that = 6 points on my license + $115 fine + $100+/year for the next 3 years + Traffic Class i believe (not sure). Thank god the cop was not an asshole and did not put down 80. if he were to put down 80 i would have to appear in court.

I did not pay it yet :P. I hired a lawyer instead - $450. I don't need my insurance to go up.

Ever since that time. I be smart where and when i speed

no fair

my first speeding ticket was i while ago, i was a kid.

caught doing 70 MPH in a 40MPH lane at 7 am, was late for work....i was like
shit i'm fu****
Cop did his thing
Came back with paperwork, told me he has to give me a ticket, then he said, i'll help you out a bit, i'll change it to 56mph on a 45mph lane, need your signature..drive safely....all i could say was thank you officer..he said no problem..
after that, whenever i go down the same road, i see him hidding behind that little tree, right up the hill with his ford explorer, at that same exact spot al the time..
