I got a speeding ticket on the way home from work.

I explained "officer, I don't understand the signs and what they mean. Can I re-drive this section?"

How stupid.

I went to buy groceries today, wasn't sure what line I was supposed to check out in, so many choices and they are not clear in their presentation. So I brought 'em home for free :D

Did they catch you with a Radar Gun, Laser Gun, or they Pace You???


I remember one time I was heading to Atlantic City from New York City.
They are about 6 toll booth in all and I got 3 speeding tickets. Here is the breakdown

Between the first and second toll both , the damn cop pace me and get me on 85mph on 65mph zone.

Between the third and forth toll both, again I was caught by another cop that pace me @ 80mph or 65mph.

The last ticket they caught me with a radar gun. My radar picked him up, cause I was going so fast by the time I slow down they got me at 78 mph.

At least I know my radar works.

After the last exit, I hit the local street and almost got the forth ticket. I was doing about 45 on a 30 mpg. The cop saw me on a intersection and followed me for about 6 blocks then he left.

Before I even got to the Casinos, I lost over $300 bux :(

sheesh- i remembered when I got a ticket, I drove like EXACTLY at the speed limit 'til I got home. You'd kinda figure after the first ticket, you woulda learned your lesson . . . don't speed until the next day!

oh come on, you people whine over 2 or 3 tickets ??
Try this, I got 7 tickets in 1.5 years. he he.
I think it's a conspiracy against me, because I got caught 3 times driving 76 in 65 mph zone, just one above the tolerance level (if there is such a thing) while in cruise control and downhill slope.
anyway, make me a chicken*&^$ now, drive like a paranoia.
every once in a while I'd look around carefully and check for police cruiser.
I guess you could say the system works.
I'm not speeding anymore...........until I move to west coast :)

Kyutip, that's why you should always set your cruise control to 74 in a 65 zone, it's virtually guaranteed that you won't be pulled over.

While I do have a couple tickets on my record and I speed prodigiously given an open road I have never in my life recieved a speeding ticket. The cops can never seem to catch me at the right place at the right time. They try to, but I know their tricks and where they hide. Plus I use "white rabbits", people who just love to speed like crazy, drive unsafely and are just a ticket waiting to be written. There's always one of these on every road. You just wait for them to zip by you then follow them at about 5 mph slower, when you see the flashing lights, drop to semi-legal speed and wait for the cop to pull the rabbit over. After that just get back up to speed and wait for the next rabbit.

Works great!

Did you ever notice the guy going slower than you is an idiot and the guy going faster than you is a maniac?

Sit still and wait for the cop to write you a ticket. When they hand it over to you, say "Thank you office" and rip it up in front of them. :)

They can't really do anything about it. Just don't throw it out the window, cuz that's another ticket. Wait for the late notice letter in the mail. Take it to your friends to got "fixed."

Problem solved. ;)

Wow, there are a lot of confused people in the world... did any of you people talking about your speeding tickets read what the post was actually about??

I think you were confused and need to re-read it and post again... :)

(If only ballot boxes had "edit" buttons....)
