Damn Highway Patrol
So, I was running late to work and I was on the highway..
I was doing the speed lmit..then i hit a patch of trucks..the middle lane was open so i changed lanes and gunned it..knowing that my exit was coming in about a mile and a half.. i hit up to about 90 when i looked in my rear view and saw a white car jump into my lane..and noticed a black pushbar on it.. Instinctively I was just kinda like "F**K" got back into the exit lane and slowed down to 70... Welp sure enough the car got behind me so i was like "...whatever.." and pulled over i think before he could even flip his lights on.. walked up to the car..told me i was speeding and i was thinking to myself "no shit?" then he said he clocked me doing 116 so i was like "uhhh you musta caught me on a hell of a gust of wind cause i govern at 115 for one thing, and two, speedometer said 90 ." He wrote me my ticket...85 in a 65..and then to be a douchebag..wrote me a ticket for my window tint..i've got a light tint on my side windows thats..hardly noticeable.. think he was pissed cause i told him his radar was a pos or something.. Yep, great day.. -_- |
fight it... that seems like alota bs

You knew you were speeding, IMO, you got lucky (85 instead of 90) and if tint is illegal, then you got a ticket for it. I say count your blessings and pay the fine. If the tint is legal, maybe fight that part, but do the crime, do the time. |

I'll be payin it.. as for the tint..i might be able to get that written off by my friends uncle
|
speeding is fun....
|
speeding IS fun but i wasn't doing it to have fun... i was doing it to hurry up and get my ass to work on time lol
|
good thing you already bought the tuner :)
|
i did that once in my previous car. i had all my firefighter turnout gear sitting right in the passanger seat and the guy still gave me a ticket after looking at it.
lol |
lol thats a douchebag right there.
And Yea Badfish, lol it its a good thing. ;x I have my traffic court april 24th so i'l have plenty of cash for it by then..hopefully they let me go to traffic school though..cause uh.. insurance will kill me ( I already signed up for the school last year, but never went..so things might gte complicated. ) |
I think you should fight it. I just got let off a ticket I got, and the court date was postponed 2 times. By the time I went to court, the officer moved to a different location. Definatly fight it...
|
I lose money either way... i can't just take time off of work to fight a ticket .. and if the cop shows up, i lose, so then i lose a few hours of pay, and the ticket also...
Don't wanna risk it, I'm just gonna pay it, lol. |
You can fight a radar dude... but you did admit to speeding, first and fatal mistake... you just made their job that much easier.
Id' fight a radar, a laser's pushing it, but I'd go for the radar. You're lucky he didn't hand you a razor blade right then and there... they do that in Connecticut. *edit and purchase a radar detector, a cobra or if funds warrant, a valentine 1 will do.. but any nondescript radar detector can pick up a single or pulse radar pretty quick. |

I hate when people say oh well thats what you get for not speeding...show me someone who's NEVER sped before in their life...you'll never find one... And theres a huge difference between speeding a little bit, and being wreckless...we all know theres time where the speed limit is rediculously low...like 35 on a 6 lane highway with a 15 ft median i mean come on...lets be serious... |
