Just pay the ticket and slow down. I've had at least 40, it happens.

 

I think you got a break.

I think that even as the attempt fails, the message to the officer is "don't give breaks".

I've seen quite a few try exactly what you are contemplating though. I never tried it the few times I got such "an invitation" when I was younger, I always just paid my fines, but I'll be surprised if it works .... but I think you should try it. It'ld be good for your education. Really ......

Judge don't care if it was a XLT of FX4 once the officer ID'd it and the Judge knows that some get a break on the road, some get a break in court, rarely do any get a break in both.

 

I feel your pain......over my somewhat lengthy driving career I amassed a collection of tickets that made me blush at times. I'm confident that I could have covered a standard size entry door with the paperwork.

Never had any wrecks/claims, always paid my premiums and always paid the fines. It was so bad at one point I had the state sending me letters letting me know I was in a position of having more issues due to my inability to obey traffic laws.

Think part of my problem was I used to race stock cars in my younger years and it bled over to the highway.

Hit my last speeding ticket about 7 years ago and that threw me back on high risk insurance for the second time. Finally slowed down and have really been enjoying the reduced insurance rates as of late.

Don't sweat the ticket fine, sweat the beating that your insurance company will unleash on you for years sometimes.

Oh....and as everyone else has pointed out.....the ticket will stick.

 

Man up and just pay the ticket. Next time, just slow down, youll get better mpg.

 

You've got to be kidding, right?! I'm not sure if you have zero luck, or are just incredibly stupid when you decide to speed, lol. You just paid for a cop's salary for over a month with all of those tickets you've paid.

I've had one speeding ticket in 13 years of driving, and most of those years were spent in sports cars! I think the key is not speeding in areas where it would be stupid to do so (city streets for example). Speeding is usually pointless on any trip of 30 minutes or less, as the time "saved" is minimal. I honestly don't usually drive my truck much over the speed limit, as I just don't feel any thrill or need for it. The sports cars bring out a little more speeding-tendencies for me, but usually only in short spurts.

 

hahahah 40 tickets? yeah, that just happens. That is the dumbest post i have ever seen on this site.

 

Take defensive driving. Its about $100 and the ticket comes off your record.

 

Keys to not getting a ticket-don't drive a sports car(cops pull these over more often look at the statistics) Dont speed and buy a radar detector. Revenue collectors aren't too bad. All in the name of safety. Its for the children.

 

First off, that's a fallacy. Just because you drive a sports car does not mean you will be getting pulled over. Come to Florida, you'd be amazed at how many Porches, Corvettes, Vipers and stuff like that you will pass on the interstate with a 4.2L V6.

Secondly, thats not true. Out of the ten most commonly pulled over vehicles for 2010, only two were sports cars:

1.) Toyota Camry
2.) Mercedes SL
3.) Scion TC
4.) Hummer H2
5.) Scion XB
6.) Mercedes CLS-63 AMG
7.) Acura Integra
8.) Pontiac Grand Prix
9.) Mercedes CLK-63 AMG
10.) Volkwagen GTI

I'm a Firefighter and even when I'm en route POV to a code or a fire, I rarely break the speed limit. If I do, its going to be no more than 10 over and on a wide open interstate. You guys wan't to avoid tickets? Don't speed. It's that simple.

 

show me the statistics and I'll believe you. Otherwise

 

haha right, ignorance is not bliss kiddo

 

Do you say this from experience?

 

I think you should step back and think about your comment for a second. Sports cars are no more likely to be pulled over than any other vehicle, however, as I eluded to earlier, I speed more often when in a sports car. So the correlation is a bit skewed because people who drive sports cars often tend to drive them as such, and therefore are caught speeding more often. You also need to understand that with those statistics provided to you (think Toyota Camry), you have to account for volume of that particular type of car model on the road. Since the Camry is one of the most popular cars on the road, it stands to reason that by sheer numbers, it would be one of the most pulled-over vehicles.

Often when "red sports cars" are pulled over, you jump to the conclusion that cops are on the lookout for any red sports car. In reality, a disproportionately large number of sports cars are red, and likely to be driven by someone who likes to "blow out the cobwebs" more often: and thus you end up with more red sports cars being pulled over.

 

Take this as a lesson, if you had a CDL, you'd be facing more than a ticket. If that was me, I would have lost my license. 15mph+ with a CDL and your ****ed

 

Thats good logic. I always see sports cars getting pulled over though. I think its crap
