i just got my first damn ticket....90 in a 60!!!!!!!!!!!! $325 and 6 points....what a long night...all b/c i was hungry and wanted to HURRY up and get home

 

That sucks man how come the fine is so high back in Feb when I got my last ticket doing 25 over the limit it was less than 100 dollar fine since it was a city cop that got me a State Trooper would have been over 100 never had a fine more than 130 bucks. 325 is a little high of a fine I think.

 

i have a very bad feelin it's b/c im 17 and he just wanted to set an example
i dunno man

 

That could be. All I can say is Speeding is a hard habit to break I had my share of tickets in my 20+ years of driving it don't matter if I'm driving a Mustang or a pickup or econo box on wheels I've been stoped in them all.

 

well im gonna try to bring it down...when does insurance premium go up???

 

When ever its time to renew it and they look at your driving record.

 

That sucks, man.

At least he didn't do you like they did that Rodney King dude.

kinda reminds me of me...

... my insurance is now $407 a month due to my record. I give up racing on the street now.

 

Damn, 407 a month! you must really like driving. If I paid that much I would sell my truck. I have been real lucky with getting pulled over. Ran a stop sign doing 40; got a verbal warning. Got pulled over doing 42 in a 30 (slowed down from 60 when I saw the cop) got a written warning. and just the other day I got pulled over for doing 41 in a 30 (BS was only doing 36) and got a verbal warning, if you could call it that. I was lucky this last time, I was picking up a battery for a wheelchair lift at a camp I work out for disabled kids. And of cource I told him that so he let me go. I think from now on 5 miles over the speed limit is enough. Either that or I need to get a CB with a scanner.

 

I'm sure glad we don't have a point system in Texas. I'd be hitching rides from friends or riding the bus a lot.. Well, they probably would be riding the bus too so I guess we'd all be SOL.

 

If we had a point system here in texas I would not have a liscence.

I've paid a total of 1,300 in lawyers and tickets this year alone.

problem was, I was working in college station and I would drive back and forth everyday.

I would always be falling asleep on the road and when i do that my foot plants down... i'd pass cops without really knowing i was speeding.

those freakin brazo county people are strict.

 

IT HAS BEEN REDUCED..MY TICKET WAS REDUCED by HALf..3 points gone and ..im relieved $120
it was so high b/c it was a state trooper..thanks everyone for makin me feel better..later

 

i mean..160..anyways..im happy

 

I use to have a car and travel every 4 days to work (2 hour drive)
cost me 900 canadian one month
sold car bought house(where I work) and got a nice slow v6.. never had a speeding ticket from that point on.. finally got my first marit last month..(course my wife has full marits)

I don't speed in trucks.. + its a auto so that sucks. and gas is too expensive!

 

Talleywacker, Have you tried to ask for deferred adjudication. It is available here in Texas and is basically 3 months of probation. You pay the fine, but if you go 90 days without a ticket they drop the ticket from your record. Between deferred adjudication and defensive driving, I have been able to keep my record clean. I presently have 12 days to go on my latest deferred adjudication plee.
