I'm guessing your insurance is gonna skyrocket if you're 25 or under.... I'm also thinking how could you be going 30 over and not realize it? I will admit I've topped 110 on I-96 here near Detroit, but I knew it. Speeding is fun however you gotta pay if you get caught. Tickets suck, so do cops. Good Luck man! My suggestion: Go to court and hopefully the cop won't show up.

i always go 100is on m-14 never any cops

Last week I registered my car 3 months late. The first day I drive it after registering it, I get a ticket for 84 in a 55. 115 dollar fine. Havn't paid it yet letting it stew a little.

in Connecticut you can be arrested and your car impounded for going 20+ mph over the posted speed limit.

Woo, this must be new. Either that or at officer's discretion.

Got pulled over for 61 in a 30 in CT in '98 or '99. This did net me a mandatory court date but the prosecutor knocked it down to driving unreasonably fast and a $100 fine.

you are lucky you were not arrested for driving wrecklessly

90mph in 65mph zone is not even close to driving wrecklessly.

120+ in a 65mph zone is wreckless.

If you guys actually drove the speed limit on the left lane, I will guarantee that I will

1) Tailgate
2) Cut you off at any opportunity
3) High beam
4) If on a bad day, run you off the road

I've seen 18-wheelers do it so that they force the slow-driver almost onto the shoulder and I wouldn't hesitate to do it either.

Thanks for proving to everyone that you are a complete idiot.

Exactly, he did more to hurt his argument there than any of the "ATOT MORONS" he mentioned above could ever have done.

You guys always help prove my point in ATOT speeding threads. Most of you guys out there are goody two-shoes. The reality is speed limits are set to generate income. There are always a few @sshats like me who tailgate, but I do that kinda thing only when necessary. If you've been driving in NYC for as long as I, you've seen everything and done everything.

Karma is not going to get me. It's going to get you morans!

so now that i had a nap and rested teh brain this is what happened in sequesnce.


So i get on to the 101 East - Around the 405 interchange i start speeding up (this is where he clocked me), i had slowed down when i noticed i was doing around 90.. then i kept it at 75-80 for a while and then the greenday song 'blvd of dreams' came on and i started singing the lyrics, and i think i sped up there. When the song ended the cop was flashing his lights and i was doing 75 then..

That is what i remember. So i dont know if I actually did 90+ again execpt the inital part. But the cop too said that i had slowed down and i took off again a bit later. But I doubt he clocked me or he would have put teh exact speed. He wrote 90+ but I dont think I went past 90 ever. My car runs funny when it goes past 90+ (vibration changes), so i must have hit 90 but not 90+.

When I pulled over, i told him i was sorry, i am a bit depressed and things have been really weird and i was not paying attention to my speedo. I told him that my ex gf had caused me to break down (she has a new guy - after all the tormenting - in a way im glad she has a new guy cause she will realise what she did to me) and on top all my spring break plans were failing all around me and that i was home alone and that's why i was distraut and depressed. Anyway the guy said the reason he pulled me over was because i was speeding in wet roads, for one the roads werent wet, they were dry / damp, not enough to lose control (i would call it dry). Second there was hardly any traffic, and i didnt change lanes to avoid traffic, only to change lanes to change exit ramps, that's when he pulled me over.

My understanding is that if the cop were to suffer from an "accident" you might be able to get off.

No witness in the courtroom = no case.

i looked up ticket assasin.com i think i have a strategy.

I am going to call up rupi my attorny and see what he says. Though he does personal injury and stuff he might be able to help.

get a laywer and hopefully they'll wipe off all points in court.

also... 25 over the limit is quite a bit. if i were in ur shoes, i would get a lawyer... preferably one who's office is near the municipal courts. i figure if the lawyer is buddy/buddy with the prosecutor, u have a much better chance of getting all points wiped. just my $.02.

Did you immediately bust out the story as to why you were speeding, or did you wait for him to write the ticket first? Making excuses is a damn good way to make sure you get a ticket instead of a warning. The cop doesn't care why you were doing it, unless they ask.
