I don't think *anyone* is saying that. Sounds to me like everyone accepts what (allegedly) they did.

BTW -- never pinched for a single moving violation ever. Not sure I'll be saying that at the end of this school year.

Thanks. Sure does...total waste of money, but comes with territory. I'm driving like a grandma from now on.

I take responsibility for what I (allegedly) did.

I got you beat Gary.....it was Colonel Mustard for $780 going 106 in a 55 with an '89 Honda CRX in the Library.

Strange that $780 seemed to be the magic #....

About a month ago the wife got tagged doing 50 in a 35. When all was said and done it cost us about $325 after the lawyer and fine. Got knocked down to equipment so no points or insurance increase.

Why not contact an attorney . I got a ticket last month for running a stop sign, it was gonna cost about $200 .Contacted an attorney I use from time to time. He took care of it for $75.00 bucks

GrumpyOleTroll · 11-10-2008, 02:36 PM

80 in a 45 in a construction zone plus 4 more violations.

Came to 2 days in holding, car impounded and about 1200 in fines.

Last time I was ever "THAT" stupid.....before that got 2 tickets from the same officer in the same day..1 before class and one after..not a good day!

That is what is wrong with society today. Instead of owning up to your guilty actions you take the easy way out.

So, your saying I should have paid the ticket let go on my record. Then my insurance goes up? In my opinion that would be kind of a dumb move.Thats what attorney's are for.

No worries. I just wanted to head it off "in case." Threads like this in the past on "other" sites have taken unfortunate turns to cop-bashing ... which is something my friends Tom, Dustin, and others don't really like (and by extension, I don't like).

I'm good with that....

I've been a cop for almost 10 yrs... I guess I should have known better...

The cost of the speeding ticket is nothing compared to what the insurance companies whack you with after the ticket. You're lucky . . . in MA they don't let you go to traffic school on-line or otherwise. You get points for every ticket you receive and your insurance costs go up.

I'd speed like a madman if I wouldn't get whacked by the insurance company.

Yeah, you and my little baby brother the Sarge!

Last one I got was out near Pearblossom (CA upper desert) and ran me around $400. The radar detector a couple months later was $300. It's probably saved me at least two grand over the last five or six years. I kid not. Unfortunately I have a bit of a lead foot and more HP than I probably should have.
