Just because you haven't been caught before doesn't make it not a crime; and it's a law based on keeping streets safer, whether it's enforced as such or not. I never really stated it was unfair. I admit my mistakes and my faults. I just want to know a way I can get myself out of this as smooth as possible. That's all... Plus wanted to hear other people's first time experiences. I shared mine and others shared theirs. A multipurpose blog. Is that too much to ask these days? Do I really need to repeat myself countless times? | ||

I mean I've done 75 and 80 on the same road before but I knew how to watch myself then. I just wasn't myself when I was driving today and I got what I came for. So please don't say any obvious stuff b/c I KNOW I DESERVE THAT TICKET. The problem with you is that you feel there's nothing wrong with speeding as long as you don't get a ticket. A lot of innocent people die every year because of people like you. Maybe you should learn a lesson from this experience and not go over the speed limit again. | ||

Method has worked for me 3 out of 3, and my dad, who gave me that advice, is an even more impressive 10/12 in his lifetime. | ||

50km is doing 30 km/g faster then the speed limit lol that's public endangerment yeah so bad to punish the speeders. That would be doing 80 in 50mp/h or doing 50 in 20 mph | ||

He works at a casino and he was on his way to work one morning, going like 30 miles above the speed limit. He gets pulled over by a cop, on the spot fabricates a story about how some gambler is blaming him for his losses and is chasing him. The cop escorts him to the casino. lololololol | ||

Best way to deal with it IMO is to just tell the cop you realize what you were doing, graciously accept that you were in error, apologize, and Generally be as polite as you can. I'm sure sometimes the cop will give you the ticket, but they let you off with a lot of warnings if you are apologetic and extremely respectful Method has worked for me 3 out of 3, and my dad, who gave me that advice, is an even more impressive 10/12 in his lifetime. It's not like that in New York, they have quotas that they have to fill to raise money and they don't let you off anymore. | ||

Pretty much decided from that point that I'm not even going to bother speeding again. It doesn't really get you anywhere faster; plus it saves quite a bit on gas mileage, especially for faster interstate/highway driving speeds. | ||

It sounds like you deserve it to me :|. It doesn't matter if everybody else was speeding, or how often you speed. If you speed consistently, you're bound to eventually get caught. It's not really something to get all butthurt over, it happens to everyone. You could easy have avoided it by not speeding, or maybe even just speeding less. The cop sounds like an asshole, but it's his job to pull people over and give them speeding tickets. He doesn't really give two shits about whether or not it was the last day of school or whatever, the law is the law. | ||

He's like "why are you guys dressed up in suits", I'm like "We are on our way to my grandma's funeral at the church." He's like oh... okay. Asked for license/registration and gave me a fucking ticket. Then he went into great detail about how much easier it would be for me to just pay it online instead of leaving college midsemester and driving 7 hours to Oklahoma to go to the court date. I went after the funeral to the court house and got it adjudicated. Complete douche bag honestly. | ||
