Arrived home and started looking at the ticket more carefully when I got home and discovered not only is my name misspelled, my date of birth is wrong, and I can't find the fine amount anywhere on the ticket, and there is nothing filled, crossed, or circled on the back. Obviously I can go to court on the 28th and then defensive driving school to void it going on my record. Just wish I knew the amount of the fine, I will call tomorrow and see if I can get more information.  | ||

You would rarely get pulled over even for going 10 over the limit, I think cops usually pull those if they really want to check on the driver, maybe if he looks young or not very confident. | ||

I think the +10 rule of thumb only really applies on highways/freeways (where you're going at 45+ to begin with). Going 40 on a 30 is pretty... uh... | ||

simple as that. I've seen people get off if the color of their car was listed wrong. | ||

Pretty much you'll never get pulled over if you're going less than 10 (16 km) miles over the speed limit*. I have like 3-4 tickets under my belt, all for going ~15 (24 km) over the speed limit, but the coppers who wrote them marked them down to 1-5 (1.6 - 8 km) (a significantly smaller fine). * Unless it's a school zone. Then they'll pull you over for going 1 (1.6 km) mile over the speed limit. | ||

 there are a few roads around where i live that have really low speed limits (one 15 cuz the road is "dangerous to drive fast on" (hahahahaha hairpin turns hahahahahahaha) no cops can be on that road cuz there is nowhere for them to be ^^ sooooooo 70+ depending on my mood ^^; ) the rule of thumb +10 applies only to highways, other than that on any regular road you should be fine just matching whatever speed the people in front of you are doing and just 5 over (unless residential or school zone) if there is no one in front of you should be enough to avoid tickets and worse...POINTS!!!there needs to be an autobahn in america | ||

That is called bad police work. Assuming you got pulled over did the officer say anything? | ||

 http://www.cityofmemphis.org/framework.aspx?page=91 "A summons ticket is a ticket issued by an officer to a violator, signed by the violator, and has a court date on the bottom of the ticket. Unless the ticket is marked mandatory, it is payable for the first 15 days after receipt." Is the ticket marked "mandatory" anywhere requiring a court appearance? That may explain why there is no dollar amount. "If the ticket is not paid within 15 days after receipt, the violator must appear in court on the scheduled court date on the bottom of the ticket, and additional costs may be assessed." Definitely give them a call. Court costs will probably double your total fine if you have to go into court. BTW - Don't count on the ticket getting thrown out because of the incorrect info. The ticket itself is simply a notice / promise to appear, not evidence. | ||

Also, you can fight it based on 1) Incorrect name 2) Incorrect birthdate 3) No fine amount | ||

But yea tofu above me is right. Also they will bargain 90% of tickets down given the opportunity, anything to speed it up. | ||

EDIT: Also the information has yet to be submitted so I can't find the amount of the fee till about 10 days, which means I have 3-4 days to pay said fine! Or I could pull a Martin: | ||
