I would definitely fight that one

Really? The school zone is one that I pretty strictly obey. There are little kids everywhere, that's a good reason to slow down to me..

I have had 6 speeding tickets and 2 other moving violations (running lights or signs). I racked up all but one of those in the few years after I started driving, including 2 in one day, separate occasions on different stretches of the same road! I think I got kicked off my mom's insurance for those. I keep it at about 10 over the limit now, generally, and haven't had a ticket for a few years. I sure don't miss payin those suckers!

I once got out of a speeding ticket while doing over 130mph in my 65 Ford Falcon on an empty freeway. It took a few minutes for the cop to catch up to me and you should have seen the look on his face, puzzled. He asked me why he should not arrest me and impound my cat on the spot, I told him "because I have a 5 speed". He chuckled, we talked cars a little and as luck would have it, he was a gearhead. After talking cars and what mods were done to my car, he actualy let me go.

did this happen back near 1965? if so, then i might buy this story, otherwise I think that its BS. Cuz no cop today would let you get off that easy (unless u knew the officer or something)

300 USD to the county.

p.s. keep a few hundred dollars in your account, college students. you never know when you're going to get pulled over.

for those without cars, keep saving up... be thankful that car payments/maintenance&repairs/insurance/fees AREN'T A BI^TCH in your life if you're trying to get by without your parents.
never movin' back with mom or dad, teen years was hell.
