Merry Christman, Now take this speeding ticket

I got a ticket today around 6 something in the morning driving through Maryland on my way from NYC to NC. 80 in 55 but I'm not bitter or mad at all. It was my fault I a lil ticked at myself for now being more aware, I got caught up in the music moment and next thing I knew he was behind me. So for X-MAS I got a ticket.

$160 so its not that bad. I'm not sure if there are any surcharges b/c I haven't looked at the ticket fully but maybe someone from MD can weigh in.

Be glad you did not hit 85. It would have been a lot worse. One thing to be on the lookout for is now many states have a setup where if you get a ticket in another state, you get the corresponding points to the same ticket in your state.

That sucks. I just read an article in one of the magazines, and Maryland was ranked as one of top harassing states.

Gotta be more careful this time of the year... they are hiding everywhere especially looking for drunk drivers.
