Going 40 in a "20 when pedestrians present". There's no posted max, and there weren't any pedestrians.

Very true but don't believe all the rumors or whatnot about how they have to show you the gun or whatever is going around nowadays. Just go through the right channels and most of the time he courts will dismiss it as its a pain in the ass.

Sadly, I'll probably have to just pony up since my court date is probably during school. We're not even sure, since the carbon copy of the ticket is fucking illegible.

Illegible? and no evidence?! you can definitely fight it.

most the time the cop who issued the ticket wont show up to the hearing, and if anything, since it is your first ticket, you can just get traffic school. Fuck paying.

My first ticket was for parking in a "no parking from 7am to 10am on weekends" area when we were going to the Time Spiral prerelease. This was because Syd (and at one point, Jeebus) lived right across the street from a church and apparently they don't want church patrons hogging all the spots. Personally, I think it's because Syd's neighbors hate me as they glare at me whenever I drive down their street/almost hit their stupid kids who play in the dead center of said street.

Traffic school for one of my tickets was more expensive then the ticket. But in the long run i saved from insurance.

You can easily get out of tickets if there is anything wrong with the ticket. Case in point:

When I was in High School, I drove a light gray 1983 Chevy Cavalier. I got a ticket for not signaling at a left turn. (Even though It was a left turn only lane with a light.)

When I looked at the ticket it said my car was a Light Brown Chevy Celebrity. I pointed that out to the judge and showed him a photo of my car as well as the registration, and he dropped the ticket.

My favorite "bjork got a ticket" story:

A cop pulled me over, but was taking forever to come ticket me. So I leaned my head out of the window as he was walking up, and he pulled a pistol on me and made me put my hands out of the car, etc. I was pretty freaked out, as I'd never had that happen before. He comes walking up, and in this frantic voice he's like, "do you know why I'm pulling you over?!" I said no, and he goes, "that car almost hit you!" I've got my hands out of the window and I'm like "... WHAT CAR?!" He then calmed down and took my information and wrote me a ticket.

Turns out I'd made a left turn before allowing oncoming traffic to go. I was so sleepy, I had no idea, and the guy did almost hit me. It was just funny that he got so freaked out over a kid driving a 1972 chevy wagon. Laughing

up until recently I had never gotten a ticket. I've been in an fender bender, and a major accident, but no tickets.

then I got pulled over for supposedly running a stop sign, and it was discovered that my liscense was suspended for something I didn't know about, my registration was revoked for a lapse of insurance that I also didn't know about too. I was arrested, ended up with three tickets, had my car towed, and then had to shell out almost a grand and go all over the place trying to fix this shit. three points on my license now.

I just got a court date to fight a sppeding ticket where, in a span of less than 600 feet, the cop said I managed to go from a dead stop (red light) to 50+mph to zero again to take a left turn without skidding, swerving, or smoking the tires.

And my gas light was on.

And there was traffic.

Obviously, this man was an idiot. I told him what he alleged wasn't possible and he gave me the ticket. My court date is March 4th. I've fought tickets before and won all of them. ALWAYS FIGHT YOUR TICKETS. Half the time the cop doesn't even show and you win.

Rule #1
Fight the ticket

Rule #2
Bring a lawyer

I have been pulled over a few times and in accidents a few times.

However, I have only gotten two tickets.

The shitty thing is that I honestly didn't do anything that deserved them.

First one: Driving down the highway at 65mph in a 65mph zone. Normally I would be going faster but my exit was coming up soon and I was in the right lane behind another car going 65. Another car with the same make model and color as mine passes me on the left at 76 mph. Sirens go on and the next thing I know, I am the one pulled over. 380 dollar ticket. WTF??? I don't know how they came up with that number. I went to court and they dropped it to $100, but unfortunatly I still had the mark on my record.

Second one: Driving in a city and I notice a cop car behind me with two cops looking directly at my car, like they were reading my plate. I stopped at a red light with a left turn only. I slowly began to go after the light went green, the parking lot I needed to go to was on the left side of that street at the next corner. I stayed in the correct lane and then the lights went on.

I moved one lane to the right, the police followed. I moved another lane, they followed. I pulled into a parking lot for a laundrymat. The followed and one of them got out of the car screaming at me.

I was charged with passing a school bus with its lights on.

The only problem with that crazyness is that they told me that I passed a bus that was infront of where I was when they turned on there lights.

It was complete bull.

I lawyered up and the $450 ticket was dropped. The lawyer was $200 or so.

Yeah, all I gotta say is Fuck Pigs.

Until I need them of course lol.

I never got a traffic ticket except riding while not wearing a seat belt. $45 only, but still. WTF type of BS ticket is that.

I've never gotten a ticket, but I have been in a fender bender on the interstate.

Posted: Feb 07 2008 02:56 pm

I've probably got more parking tickets than everyone on this forum put together. Five bucks a pop.

But as far as traffic tickets...I've got enough that I can't remember them all. I got one for rolling through a stop sign, a handful of speeding tickets, one on the highway, one where I was in my grandma's car and she put the new sticker on their truck by accident, so I got a ticket for improper display. I've also got several seatbelt tickets.

Also, don't get pulled over by highway patrolmen. Where I live seatbelt tickets are like 20 bucks or so. Got one, in town, but by HP, and it was 70 bucks.

Also, me and two other buddies got tickets on the highway in the same area in a six month period. I got mine first. It was 85 bucks. My friend got his only barely going faster than me, his was 250!!!, Then another friend got his going faster than both of us, and his was only 170 or some crap. I know he was going faster, but got a cheaper ticket than my other friend.

And each one allegedly had a paper saying how much the ticket was supposed to be. What do the give random figures to each cop?

In Massachusetts, no seatbelt is an additional $50 onto any offense.

In the process of moving from state to state I got pulled over by a state trooper in Iowa at 3am. I had :
Ohio drivers license
Texas Plates
Iowa Insurance

I was buying th car from my grandparents and they still hadn't paid it off on their end so the plates had to be Texas, I'd forgotten to get the Iowa drivers license but I did have the insurance as a secondary driver.

It took forever to talk my way out of it but all I got was a warning.

Bullshit part was that I was at a red light waiting to turn left onto the freeway and the light was stuck. After about 10 minutes I got bored and after checking every possible angle to see if anyone was possibly coming I went for. soon as I hit the entry ramp I hear this buzzer go off like I gave a wrong answer on a game show and theres lights in my rear view. I have no idea where that asshole came from, Iowa must equip their state troopers with cloaking shields. Mad

Actually if they were trying to conceive I think they are ok.
Otherwise... not so much.

Um.. why is it legal to sell condoms, birth control, diaphragms, sex toys, etc?

Don't all of those things promote fornication?
