    Speeding for 5/10 seconds or 1 second is still speeding....

    GTFO.

    True, it's still speeding, BUT have you ever speed at all?

    I know I am, because usually doing 80 on 400, and 70-75 on other interstates.

    I got my first traffic citation two weeks ago.

    California rolled a stop sign...slowed to about 5 mph, and then took off. The cop came out of nowhere.

    Yes, I have sped before and even caught a few times, but I don't post the shit on IA like a dumbass. I don't try to rationalize my speeding by saying I was only speeding for 0.687945623 seconds.

    That is all.

    yeah 400 is a total clusterfuck. that's the way i come home from school in dunwoody. so are you under 21?

    edit: nvm... just checked your profile and i see that ur over 21. now you don't have to worry about losing your license... just paying that fine.
    well.... depending on how many points you already have

    The speed limit was 65 I always go about 5/10 mph over the speed limit I think its rare that people actually go exactly the speed limit on the highway but its hard not to speed when passing somebody especially in a evo.

    What? Your the one whining that its the 2nd ticket that you were only speeding for a second.......

    Did you have a certified and calibrated stopwatch? Did you time exactly how long you were above the speed limit? Did you take into account the accuracy of the car's speedometer, and your reaction time to start and stop the stopwatch? I'm just curious......

    Not to sound like a dick to anyone, but also it only takes a laser like .1 seconds to pick up your speed...

    I just didnt appreciate the Dumbass comment, seeing is how you don't even know me thats kinda hard to assume.

    well when I know that I was going 75mph before I saw the cop and the cop said that I was going 82mph and it doesn't take that long to go from 75-82mph in an evo, and I saw the cop right after I hit the gas pedal.... Id say i was speeding for about.... 1 second (thats technically saying that 75mph isnt speeding already we will just say that 76+ in a 65 is speeding)

    sucks for your ticket man... tip for the future: dont come on ia and tell shit like this. mostly everyone will think you're an asshole because "the cop was doing his job" i try to leave my personal life out of here. lots of nice people but also lots of e-thugs...

    but i feel you. i'd go to court and get it reduced to 14 over so you dont get any points.

    there's no getting out thats for sure, but he can talk to the prosecutor and try to lower it to 14.

    Wow wtf are you tripping about so bad for RichW131...he didn't come on here saying "fuck the motha fuckin police for giving me a speeding ticket...fuck those low life pigs for giving me a ticket for racing this ugly ass civic." He was just explaining his bad luck with going over the speed limit a few time. He asking questions about what he can do and how many points it is...

    Are you honestly going to say that you've NEVER gone over the speed limit once?

    FUCK GRAN TURISMO EAST!! NEVER TAKE YOUR CAR THERE, ESPECIALLY NOT FOR AN ALIGNMENT!! TERRIBLE BUSINESS!!

    Can you read? I posted up that I do speed. Please read before posting.

    I am just sick of people posting their ticket shit every fuckin' day. Sometimes more than one a day! I know, the cop stopped you and gave you a ticket. Shit happens, move the fuck on.


    Lesson of the week: Go ahead and speed, just don't get caught!

    That's exactly what I said on the first page of this thread.

    And yes I do read, and I read the original post and nowhere in the post did i find him bitching the police and telling them to fuck off for giving him a ticket. He got a ticket, of course he's gonna frustrated. Who likes getting a ticket? He was just explaining his frustration and what happened. No need to bash him...

    it seems like if someone was tired of reading about people getting speeding tickets he wouldn't read the bulletin that says " i got a damn speeding ticket"

    you can never be too fast I just need to realise that there are brakes on my car also. Instead of always trying to get ahead of the pack i just need to chill-ax. Im the clostrophobic type I don't like having cars directly to my left or right of me

    haha, i was just playing bro. but i understand. awhile back i was taking my uncle to work, and there was alittle bit of traffic so i decide to acclerate to pass all the slow cars.
    got to 125-130 than saw a cop on the side of the exit. and slow down as fast but smothly as i could. still clocked me at 80. got a ticket for speeding.

    since than im alot more alert around that area.

    Dude i'm the saaaaaaaame way. I can't stand being behind a car that I can't see in front. I hate it. And everyone hates behind a car that is going slow. That's what lanes are made for, so that you can go around them . And yea if I see a car swerving i'm gonna try to get away b/c I dont want them to hit me. You just got unlucky and got caught

    FUCK GRAN TURISMO EAST!! NEVER TAKE YOUR CAR THERE, ESPECIALLY NOT FOR AN ALIGNMENT!! TERRIBLE BUSINESS!!
