are the hypocrites coming out?

Dude, get over it. You aren't going to get any support here.. ATOT = haters. You broke the law, we will fry you for it.
I'm not looking for support, just responses in general. I wanted to see what others had to say. The ones that like to preach are the ones that reply.. just like repost nazis.. the ones that don't care / agree / whatever usually don't post.
Your kidding, right? If you're in front of a judge and you admit to exceeding the speed limit and the ticket is for speeding, you going DOWN! He may reduce the ticket to some lower amount, but there's no expectation of a finding of innocent with an admission of guilt. The judge could be sanctioned if he were to make that a policy.Originally posted by: Ylen13

No, I'd be pissed for blowing through a light. I think you have difficulty in making simple judgements about safe driving. It doesn't take but a second to stop. I might do 100 down the freeway, but I'll always signal and I'll always stop at red lights and stop signs.Originally posted by: mrCide
Why would you be pissed? See, it's all up for debate since you think speeding 10-15 is okay, I think what I did was okay. Also, I was told never to put the car in first unless I came to a complete stop. I've done it before and the car jerks heavily even at 5-10mph. My car handles turns at that speed as if it was 5mph. (in response to your pissed.. assuming pissed for getting thrown around.)
And the officer was setting you up. In court, him saying that you "rolled through" is admission of guilt. There are no petty excuses in the eyes of the law. For example, if a cop tickets you for 70 in a 55, and you manage to convince the judge that you were only doing 60... guess what? you're still guilty and you still pay the fine. That's how the law works.
Even the thing about you having a clean record to plead not guilty (which you don't have) is a joke. Judges aren't allowed to see your record before deciding guilt. That could effect their judgement when they are only supposed to rule on the case at hand (and not on your history). They do, however, see your record and examine it quite thoroughly when determining sentencing/fine.
edited for minor typo
A judge will not find someone guilty if they believe that he was only doing 60 in 55mph zone
Ahhh, but do you know the difference between wreckless and reckless?Originally posted by: mrCide

Eh, it's still illegal. I used to do it all the time until I got into a wreck 3 years ago. Now, I'm more careful about obeying every traffic law.

Helps that you don't like me / are bitter towards me though
I don't know you at all, but you still deserved it. When I got my speeding ticket, I was speeding. Did it suck? Yeah, but I deserved it. I had no frounds for complaint except to be mad at myself. Am I bothered that you ran a red light at 25mph? Yeah, but what disturbs me more, is your complacent attitude and insistence that you did nothing wrong. YOU BROKE THE FVCKING LAW! I hope to God that you are never driving near me and my family, because you have no regard for the traffic laws that are in place to protect each and every one of us. I could care less if you blew that light at 100mph, it's your attitude and insistence on being innocent of any violation whatsoever that is most troublesome. It's a shame that you will still have your license after this all plays out. People like you shouldn't be behind the wheel of a car at all.
calm down. i posted it for discussion, not to look for support. i'm bitter for getting a ticket, 4 years i've had no tickets and then i get 2 in 2 weeks, one for something i've never thought twice about, and no one's said anything about either. i understand it's the law, i understand now that i should be more careful around turns and come to a complete stop, but i still don't agree with getting a ticket. i don't agree that the speed limit on 595 should be 55, i don't agree that, and if i got a ticket for going 65 i'd be bitter. do you always accept it when you do something wrong? do you never nitpick? i find it hard to believe. furthermore, i'm probably a safer driver than most people here, you should calm down and get a grip. if someone gets in your face and says some crap about your family, do you push him or deck him in the face? or do you just walk away. a lot of people will do the former. do they know it's wrong? of course.. they'll also complain about that person later, even though they did something wrong.. you seem to have a big stick up your ass, and of course like some others im going to assume you've never done a single thing wrong in your life.. and if you have, you didn't say one thing about it later either.
right..

And him just cruising through the red light had nothing to do with it. Stupid ticket, my ass. Title should have read "I was stupid and so I got a ticket."

cruising thru a red light in the middle of the night is not a big deal
Yeah, we know.Originally posted by: Ylen13

was making a right turn, those are legal. the problem was that I didn't come to a complete stop. You act as if i flew through a red light across the intersection without looking. You're making me seem a lot worse than I am to make yourself look better. I think YOU'RE trolling. It's okay, a lot of people do it in ticket threads. I was ranting because I think it was stupid. I'll continue to think it was stupid.

I view all traffic signs like they are suggestions. Stop signs are discretionary, traffic coming, wait for them to pass, if no traffic is coming, then treat it like a yield sign. Speed limit signs, well see what others are doing, and do the same.
