my god, i have to agree with brett! either do the speed limit or pay a damn ticket & deal with all of the consequences! roads have speed limits for a reason! i don't care if nobody else does 45 on 20. you went over 45, got busted, now pay the ticket & whatever else they give you. my "ex" was 25 & got a ticket...it was his 8th ticket so he got a year probation (which costs $39 once a month when he sees his probation officer), $350 fine, 40 hours of community service & a defensive driving class...the judge also told him that if he came in any contact with the law within the next year, he would be sitting in jail for the rest of his probation. & he was driving a damn 4-door civic that was so damn slow, it couldn't get out of it's own way. he learned his lesson...an expensive lesson! so don't use the car you drive or your age as an excuse. they may discriminate occassionally, but for the most part, they bust whoever is breaking the law. i'm sorry, but i'm with short & outspoken in the sympathy area...if you were speeding & hit me with my kids in the car & hurt one of them, oh lord, i'd hate to think of what would happen.
i'm not saying i don't speed...god knows i've had my fair share of tickets. but every time i've gotten one, i've paid it & shut the hell up, not tried to look for some stupid way to get out of it. hell, the last ticket i got, they considered suspending my license for having too many tickets, but they decided not to. i did nothing to fight it...i just showed up in court like i was supposed to & i got lucky. i sped a/k/a broke the law & i had to pay for it. i'm sure just about everybody else on this site has done the same. now it's your turn to grow up & take responsibility!
