Nice thread! I got one this year unfortunately. The popo got me doing 94 as per radar gun. I was trying to avoid a collision with a car barreling towards me. The ticket cost along with traffic school is around $550 plus God know what the insurance rates will be. I am contesting the ticket with my traffic ticket lawyer. Apparently it is often used here in So Cal. We'll find out in June if my lawyer's skills are better than mine in beating the popo! I have slowed down quite a bit since the ticket! I guess there was a little good that came out from me being pulled over. I actually don't habitually speed. I only do it when I deem it necessary.
just got one, i was in a 100km/h zone, going 130 ish, i was passing, i politely talked the cop down from $198 to $138, plus i paid it right away which knocked another $25 off. 2 points on my license is what i hate. havent had a speeding ticket in almost 10 years
Got one on the R6...
One of the main roads here is a speed trap from hell. It goes from 20-25-35-45 all withing a little over a mile. Motorcycle cops sit at each speed limit sign hidden.
I normally got onto this road from a street that was RIGHT after the 35 mph sign. So the only speed sign I ever saw was the 45 (i know what it is on the whole road now). So I thought it was 45. I got a ticket for 49 in a 35 on my way to work in the morning. $270! By a motorcycle cop.
My responsibility to know the speed, but damn... This is a main road here too, so I dont know why they did this with the speed limit.
The police station is right on the top of the hill on this road,.
That lawyers initials wouldn't happen to be EA would they? If so, she sponsors our meetup.com group. lol I know a lot of people who she's gotten off when they were guilty as sin. She's great. $100 and you're off. No need to show up for court or anything. If she looses, you get our money back.
