thanks

I was just bragging the other day about how the officers must love me because I've had five warnings for speeding. Well my luck ran out this morning. Driving on my way to school, flying down the highway, running late as usual....busted. He clocked me at 75 in a 45 speed zone. I know I was speeding, but I don't think I was doing 75. Anyway, I knew he was writing a ticket this time instead of a warning, because it was taking him too long. That whole "I'm going to school" excuse didn't work this time, which I really was going to school. He called himself doing me a favor by reducing the points to two instead of four and the fine from $360 to $76.00. I mean it's a really big help and I thanked him for that because he said a 2 point ticket doesn't effect the cost of insurance, so that's good. It would've been even better if he had just given me a warning I got until the Dec. 12th to pay, so it's alright I guess.

they hate me edit

30 over in Minnesota is reckless driving which is a MAJOR offense as far as insurance is concerned and basically you are screwed.

My serious advice is to slow down. Speeding isn't worth your life or worse yet someone else's life.

i've never gotten one single warning!

And here they can take you to jail for going 20mph over the speed limit.

You must be showing them your tits or something.

That sux! I know how it is to get pulled over for speeding, it is never a good feeling.

Ewwwww weee!

Sorry to hear that... I got one ticket for speeding with the Brits to the Bay area..... Well deserved.. I think I clocked 100ish in an open area... he wrote it for like 70 and posed for pics with my traitor friends. THEN I got another for making a right turn in Sna Francisco on a red light. Which is allowed in Southern California and not there. The officer was an ass as he had run my plates and KNEW I didn't know the law there as he stated the difference to me as soon as he walked up and before I questioned him.

I went to school for one and ate the other on my record.

Don't fret I have had my license suspended in the state of Indiana (more then once) for to many speeding tickets and accidents. No I am living illegally in Indiana with my Illinois license... Screw Indiana and their 30 days to change your license over shit...I will change it when I am damn well ready.

A radar detector has probably saved me from getting pulled over at least once. However, if you nonetheless get stopped for speeding, a radar detector pretty much guarantees you'll be getting a ticket instead of a warning. The other annoying thing about radar detectors is that some states have turned old radar guns into unmanned "drones" for the sole purpose of setting off radar detectors. I have personal experience with this in Pennsylvania.

Edit: Also note that while radar detectors are legal in most states, they are illegal in many Canadian provinces. One time when I went through Ontario on a drive from Maine to a wedding in Detroit, I actually FedEx'ed my radar detector to myself in Detroit.

that's what I was thinking about them.....surely they can't work at all times.
