I hate it, i got my first speeding ticket tonight, cop was rutine and it was straight forward...... im just pissed that i was speeding so much, regularly i may go 2 over but ****, tonight i was doing a ******* 72 in a 45 on a hwy (i figured it was 60, bad guess)...... so needless to say im out 226 bucks. oh well, ill live i guess. but still....

i know most of you guys havent gotten a ticket, im sad to join the club of people that have, but how big of a ticket have any of you guys gotten?

 

i've bin lucky...i've only got a $25 parking ticket so far, but i'm about due for one....i'm usualy doing 20-30 over the speed limit

 

lol yep, your very lucky, as are all my friends.

oh well, i have the cash to pay it, its my first ticket.... so i dont think my insurance will be too much higher, if so oh well i can afford it, its only like 70 bucks a month now.

lol im definately buyin a radar detector now! i couldnt see the cop till he was right next to me (he was on the median).... so he got me good.... he got me at 72, when i cruised by him at 50 or so with my cruise on.

lol oh well

 

back in jan, i got a ticket for going 83 in a 30 and for racing.

luckily, i got it dismissed. he he he

 

now i wanna know how you got out of that?

What do you guys think, should i just pay it since i have the cash now, or argue it, even though i think i have no way to argue it in court. plus im trying to keep it from my parents..... so what would be best


keep in mind i pay for everything, my car, insurance, gas and all
but if my parents find out, ill not only loose the keys to my p5, but the keys to my Se-R also..... (i signed a contract saying they could before i bought my cars with my money)....

who knows, its a wierd situation for me

 

When I was 17 I got one for going 110 in my sisters Jetta while racing a chick in a Cavalier...needless to say I was "paying for it" for a long long time....

 

I've only got photo radar tickets, but the biggest one I got was for doing 125 km/h in a 90 km/h zone....$120 ticket

BTW, have I said here how much I hate photo radar yet?

 

3 $176 (canadian) tickets ... in 2 years though. none since the last one ...

 

I got a $7500.00 ticket after all fines and lawyer fee's were paid. 110mph threw a school zone and a park accross the street, riding a wheelie when I left the stop sign. Cop radaring on the side street as I passed. Speed limit 25mph, time 6am. Rodney King got off light the police beat the hell out of me. I will never own a motorcycle again.

 

Take the driving class. 20mph over and your insurance will sky rocket. Take the class its only 8 hours of stuff you already know and you wont get points.

 

I think you have your winner

 

will my insurance really sky rocket? ****, anyone have any idea?
because i dont think i can take the stop class (class to get out of the ticket) for this speeding ticket because its over 20mph over. damn. im paying like 70 a month now, i wonder how much this will effect this.

 

If this is your first, it might not be as bad as you think. Insurance is a nastly little devil. There are so many variables that not even my broker could tell me with certianty if mine would raise or not after two speeding tickets, two failure to stop, and a disobeying (sp?) a street sign. Basically she said that if my insurance company looks at my driving record, I'm phucked. Otherwise I should be alright.

 

WOW ! I see why you named yourself ZZOOOMM !

My Girlfriend got caught on our way back from florida in Atlanta. 98mph in a 65mph zone. I told her speeding in the states is stupid as the state troopers just don't care who you are. young girl, grey mustant, 32 over the limit, $550 and a reckless driving charge. At least we are canadian and it doesn't affect her insurance.

I got tagged on the hwy 400 doing 160kph in a 100kph zone on my bike. cop let me go, usually I finde a couple of yessirs and nosirs. and they will go easy.

I have been pulled over on my bike 8 times this year, over 20 last year and god knows how many before that, but I haven't had a ticket in over 8 years.
