I got one about 2 months ago but it was for having no seat belt it was 72.50. I was also speeding but i got off with a warning on that thankfully. I could have been worst because my friend didn't have his seatbelt on either.

man, you guys need to catch up. I've got 19. My last one was Sept. 10th last year. Bonehead move on my part. I was driving in an area at home that I haven't been on in 2 years. I knew the speed limit dropped but I missed the first sign and the cop was sitting 100 feet in front of the second one. Luckily I had already begun slowing down. Limit goes from 65 to 45 and he got me at 57. He reduced it to 54 for me since he watched my speed drop before he turned on his lights. It was the dead of night so I had no clue he was sitting there til the blue lights came on.

seatbelt tickets around here are like 25bucks, so either he did'nt give you much of a warning or seatbelt tickets where you live are expensive.

Don't know how because I always drive 80/85 on the highway.Also these 4:10's have a tendency to cause sudden accelleration out of nowhere

Funny how you try to baby your car, then you get 4.10s, then you drive the piss out of it. Why don't they mention that in gear ads?

That'd be nice, but considering Virginia is the only state, the ONLY state, that doesn't allow Radar Detectors, it'd be just one more nice piece of yellow paper for the cop to hand me.

By the way, 67 in 50 = 17MPH over X $5.00 per Mile = $85.00 + $57.00 processing fee = $142.00.

Think they can just take it out of my tax refund and call it even?
