You didn't get raped. You sped on a road that you knew to be a speed trap. You basically dropped your pants and yelled "Take me big boys!" and now you're all ass hurt because they did.

Your lucky you didn't get charged for careless and reckless. What you did isn't that bad but I can't believe your throwing a fit over it. You knew the risks, now you have to pay the price.

Now you see why I drive so damn slow. You know that one jerk who drives exactly the speed limit through construction zones, like 35mph when everyone else is going 50mph? I'm that guy. Speeding tickets suck. The people behind me can suck it.

This. I only drive 1-2mph over. And in construction zones I drive the limit or 1-2mph under.

:awe: It just means I drive over the posted speed limit(which everyone does).

80 over 55, are you nuts???? That's about 45% over the speed limit kid. A "superior" driver never gets a $600 ticket. Of course everybody speeds over the posted limit, but not 25 mph over. Hopefully they will revoke/suspend your drivers license for excessive speeding. If you plan to kill yourself too, make sure you don't have any victims. :rolleyes:

80 in a 55 was asking for it. You know it's for revenue generation, but you were asking for it. As for fighting it, you're fucked.

80 in a 55(it's put this low so cops can get moniez) and following too closely.

No, it's made because idiots like you in your retarded Honda or Toyota or whatever crap box you drive try to compensate for your micropenis and your shitty car and your pathetic attitude, and drive 80 in a car that was barely designed to go 65 in a zone that for a good reason wants people to go 55, especially people driving cars that have the cheapest possible brakes.

Grow the fuck up already.

i-205 is known for being a cop rape zone. They fucking get out there all the time. Unfortunately for me, I didn't realize Friday and Saturday nights were their best times....


Bwhahahahaha! There are some roads you NEVER speed on. And you KNEW that was one of the roads not to speed on, yet you went 25 over...

Pro tip, before you speed, get to know the area, if it is safe to speed. There are some places I wouldn't go 5 over because of all the cops, yet I see morons doing 10->15 over all the time (and nice shiny blue/red lights all the time)

GA has a new "Super Speeders" law...you in GA?

I remember hearing about that last time I visited home, when it was just starting up. I think it's an extra $200 fine if you're going 75+mph on a one-lane road, or 85+mph on a two+ lane road.

It's i-205. It's a huge ass fucking freeway.

Which you admitted is a speed trap. They should have thrown on a third ticket just for being stupid.

The only defense that sometimes works for speeding on highways is claiming you were following the flow of traffic. You've already admitted only 3 cars were going as fast as you so that won't work. You're screwed on that one.

As another person mentioned the safe following distance at that speed is over a football field in length. I doubt you were giving the car in front of you that much space. Again, you're screwed.

I'm keeping my fingers crossed that you end up having to get rid of your car because of this. You obviously aren't bright enough to be trusted with a car.

I totally clicked on this thread expecting a nihilistic sob-story involving college, drinking, and patriarchal society.

He can keep funding the law enforcement machine, we should be cheering him on instead of jeering.
I call guys like him "heroes". They blast on past and put out the cop magnet for me.

Truth. I still speed a bit here and there but not NEARLY as much as I used to. I've only ever gotten 2 tickets, and both for speeding.. but they ran me like 600+ total and 7 total points on my license. :p F that.

safe speed on highway is what everyone else is doing. Fucking Toronto drivers are now approaching 130km/h on Highway 401 as the "norm" when there is no congestion. The posted limit is 100.

130? What time of the day are you able to get up to that speed? In the last year, I think traffic flow has topped out at around 115 for me.. and that construction zone by Pearson... ugh..

Ontopic, the OP is a douche, got caught speeding (admittedly speeding even), and is now bitching about it, as though he had never heared of speeding laws in the first place. Yea, it sucks getting a ticket; it's embarassing and monetarily hurtful, but I think most of us grow up afterwards and realize we're not the only ones on the road..
