How much did you have to pay?
>>14782872
2 years ago. BC, Canada. Went 140kph in a 60kph zone. It was a downhill section and I was dagumi.
Got slapped with $458-something I don't remember. In addition to a 7 day impoundment that cost ~$998. Then got slapped with an annual surcharge of $320/year for 3 years.
so in total, around $2416 for going 80kph over.
>>14782872
$250 for speeding, I was 2 hours late for work that day. FML!

>>14782894
The 7 day impound sends me into an autistic rage every time I hear about it. The most expensive goddam place in north america, with the highest taxes, the most expensive fuel, and money laundering fueled real estate prices... And they decided that 400 or 500 bucks for a ticket wasn't already enough.
It's no wonder sport bikes started running from the police in record numbers after they brought the law in.
>>14782910
If you're that late there's no need to rush. Nothing you can do will get you there on time.
>>14782933
It could be worse. I could've gotten a 30-day impoundment if the cop decided to be a dick and scour my record for the tiniest infraction.
That's why I bought a radar detector. Never leave home without it.
>7 years on the road
>no tickets yet
Probably going to jinx it but I don't know how I've been so lucky. I've had blues and reds flashed at me three times when they're oncoming and when I slow down they turn their lights off and keep going. Hell I haven't even got a photo radar ticket and I daily drove a vehicle with no speedometer for two years.

I'm just glad I turned down beers that night because I had to drive home.
July 27, 2011. I got a speeding ticket in Wisconsin for fucking 5 over. 35 in a 30. that was all he stopped me for. I went back to court and was given the option to pay the dollar amount and have the points dropped or vise versa so I paid $88.80 for 5 fucking over.
>>14782872
got pulled over for street racing.
got off with a 60$ ticket for expired plate sticker.
I wasn't actually racing the guy but the cop said I was and gave me a lecture about it.

This post makes me physically mad because of how true it is. I've never gotten a ticket personally, but Vancouver BC passes me the fuck off. Especially since Gregor Robertson is literally sinking millions of dollars into bike lanes people don't use.

I've never been pulled over.
I have really bad anxiety so I never speed. I would drop a pound of spaghetti if I ever got pulled to the side.

Well now you know not to go 80kph over the speed limit.
Pic related. Back in February. $290 for insurance violation because I lapsed for a few days while switching insurance companies when I bought my car a year ago. I'm in the process of having it waived because the state wants me to pay 600 dollars for lapsing. I thought it was cool because I'm currently insured, then got pulled over and slapped with this ticket.
I don't care if the judge doesn't fall for my excuse and forces me to pay. I just want to throw it away since it may affect my chances of getting a proper job.
Before then I have like 6 tickets from four years ago. None are moving violations, just expired registration, and driving without permission (State requires Provisional drivers to be off the road between 12am-5am unless you have important obligations).
Despite that, the cop still wrote me up for it even though I was returning from work. Didn't argue because judge let me off easy by not paying 700+ in tickets and gave me a slap on the wrist.
Here we go. Some of you may remember this as I posted it on here a couple months ago the night it happened.

I was leaving my parents place at 11PM on a Sunday heading back to school and going about 130km/h on a 80km/h country highway (Canada). It was a long straight and no car for as far as I could see. Cop was hidden in a driveway.
Officer said she could take my car (50 over in Canada is """"""stunt driving"""""") She lowered it down to 49 so I could keep my car and go back to school for the night because I go to school 250km from home.

Im hoping he gets the full punishment of a year license suspension and possible jail time. Its fucking ridiculous. His dad pays off literally everything the kid gets in trouble for. Fuck. Hes my friend and all but hes such a cunt. He honestly thinks his dad is gonna bribe a judge out of a speeding ticket. As if people would risk their careers for this dumbass.
>This mad
Got off with a warning for 80 in a 55 last summer.
$85 for 52 in a 35 about three years ago was my last speeding ticket. I think I've racked up like 20 parking tickets since then tho :^)
>>14782894
Wow youre lucky
Someone here in switzerland went 116km/h instead of 80 kmh and got fined around 2000$ and had to go to psychotherapy while his licence got nullified.
Wasnt allowed to make another licence for 1 year I think and has to start from null again.
So far he said he had to waste 8000$ just because of that bullshit

thats nuts, how does anyone financially survive their teens?
>>14783740

>>14782894
They've done studies where negligence and bring distracted causes way more accidents than speeding does. It's easy money for the police because you can't see who's distracted at a distance until it's too late. Fuck the police anyway I have a radar detector hidden in my car
2 years ago I was on the highway in my BMW. I had just gotten it so I floored it and was probably going 120 until I saw what I thought was just SHA workers. Turns out it was a speed trap, they ran into the middle of the road, and pulled ran up to my car and said "What the fuck man, license and registration, and step out of the car"
It ended up being a 1200 dollar ticket that I got reduced to about 400 bucks. still got 5 points though
Not mine, but my father always likes to tell our family how he got a ticket, won the court case and not having to pay for it.

October 2011 doing 82mph in a 75. I had to pay $210
>>14783767
>They've done studies where negligence and bring distracted causes way more accidents than speeding does
I always thought this was common sense desu. Distracted/negligent drivers are deadly at any speed.
Assuming both drivers are paying attention: 10mph over the arbitrary 55mph limit is not more dangerous than someone at the 55mph limit.
On the other hand, 55mph distracted driver, head down texting, will be infinitely more dangerous. Of course, our police force needs money/local municipals need money......so it's basically a lottery tax to support your local government.

Fun fact, speeding apparently causes (or at least is involved in) more /fatal/ accidents than distracted driving.
>>14783863

>cop was going at least 85
No one goes 65 on the freeway in SoCal, luckily he let me off with a warning.
Jesus. Reading through this thread it seems like nobody hires traffic attorneys.
Last May, I was doing 60 in a 30 (coming up to a freeway overpass) around midnight, no cars in front of me, no cars behind me. Someone turns onto the street a few blocks behind me, and I think nothing of it. I come to a stop at the light, and the lights come on. I was probably doing closer to 70. The cop told me he paced me (I had a radar detector, would have known if he clocked me) at 60, and couldn't keep up.
It was a $298 ticket, I paid a traffic attorney $250, and got off completely. For pacing, they have to prove their odo was calibrated. His never had been.
Live and learn.

I-5, just south of Kettleman City
3am, southbound, day before Halloween
Ninja 900, wearing full leather and helmet
Road was completely empty, no cars or big rigs to be seen
Had just gotten out of Navy, heading to LA to see an old girlfriend
Stopped for fuel and a soda in KC
Out on I-5, stopped on the on ramp and pushed the bike to red-line, bike could do 150, got it up to 145 and whizzed past a CHP heading north, he lit up the party lights and came across the median, thought about running, but the next exit was a ways off and he had a radio, so I pulled over and waited
Got a ticket, he talked about impounding the bike taking me to jail, he had a Marine Corps tattoo on his forearm, mentioned just being out of the Navy, so he let me go with the ticket
Came back for the court hearing, the CHP was a no show, found out later he had been in an accident and was in the hospital
Judge dismissed the ticket
In the years since I have not had so much as a parking ticket
I have only had one ticket on my 5 years of driving

Drove away with a $355 ticket but hey no jail or impound.
5 years ago after a wreck for failing to yield.
Was waiting to turn. Asshole had his blinker on to turn into a parking lot, slowed down to turn-- and when I pulled out to make a left hand turn the fucker t-boned me. Now I never trust people when they signal.
December 24th, 2015. Middle of the night, on the highway (70mph limit). Decide fuck it, gun it for a small stretch, lights turn on in the median, fuck, clocked me at 114. Writes me for 114.
Go to pay ticket after reading its ~$250, get there and its $600. Ask to fight it informally in court. Cop doesn't show up, no cost, no points on license(Michigan), no insurance rates going up.

The best thing I figured out, is that cops in this area put a "Thin Blue Line" decal in the middle of their license plates on their personal cars, so I bought some off of Amazon and put one on my tag. Literally haven't gotten a second look since. And I've done some stupid shit front of cops. Like going 85 in a 60 construction zone.

Same feeling here m8.4 years and ive been pulled over only once,never got a ticket.
Paid $100 USD and took a course had mine dismissed.
I was going 33km/h over on a 4-lane highway, I saw the cop as I turned the corner.
Thought to myself "Gee, why is someone parked on the end of that exit ramp from the bank with their lights off?"
Woop Woop. No points just a reduced fine $55, from $250 with 3 points. Ontario guy

Almost 2 years ago now, it was $240 which is pretty standard. I was my 8th or 9th ticket.
I was driving pic related and the cop had one of those newfangled "laser" detectors that you can only detect the moment they hit you with it. My detector went "laser alert!!" I looked up, saw the cop in the trees off the road and knew I was fucked. I was going to run because there's no way he could've scanned my plates from where he was, but it was a 2-lane highway and there were lots of cars going the limit ahead of me so I just sucked it up.

False. Almost all accidents are caused by distracted driving, and the vehicle would have to be traveling at *some* speed for it to occur. The reason for the accident is because the driver was distracted/did not react properly, speed was merely a secondary factor that magnified the damages.

Are Radar detectors worth it?
I don't normally speed or even go 5 over.
But I'd like to start
>>14784920
First and only ticket ever was a $558 speeding ticket. Was clocked at 117mph in a 70mph, wasn't my car, 5 people in a 4 seater.
Shit myself when I didn't go to prison.
Was also caught slowing down.

I don't really understand the point. If it detects when the cops radar you isn't it too late? Or do you have a chance to slow down?

I have a 7 or 8 year-old $100 one (pictured, sorta) and it has saved me MANY times and I speed a lot, everywhere. Just keep its limitations in mind (hills, hospital X-rays, shopping mall scanners). Also, as I mentioned above, there's nothing you can do about the new "laser-band" speed detectors some cops have, but they're really rare and I've come across that fewer than 5 times since the first one I encountered 2 or 3 years ago.
Just remember, all the officer can get you for is exactly the speed that they detect you at or less. When I see a cop ahead or hear that familiar "Ka-alert" I always hit my brakes immediately until I'm under the limit. A lot of people think that the cop will pull you over because they see you braking, but they can't just for that unless you stop in the middle of traffic or go below a posted minimum speed limit.
Also, for all you anons, some cop cars can instantly scan all license plates within a range around them, but I think that's rare right now. Either way, if you are considering evading an arrest, consider whether they may have scanned your plate or not.

>>14785268
Depends on the band that they're using, but 99% of the time (X-, K-, and Ka-bands) you can detect it 0.5 to 2 miles ahead unless there's a large hill or building i the way. They either drive around with their speed detector on or they sit around with it on scanning ppl as they pass and the bands I mention send waves in many directions, not just straight ahead, so you can often pick them up in plenty of time.
Laser (LIDAR) speed detectors shoot a very small wave beam of unseeable light straight out and you can only detect it right when you get hit with it, no matter how expensive your detector is.

I am trained in gorilla warfare and I’m the top sniper in the entire US armed forces. You are nothing to me but just another target. I will wipe you the fuck out with precision the likes of which has never been seen before on this Earth, mark my fucking words. You think you can get away with saying that shit to me over the Internet? Think again, fucker. As we speak I am contacting my secret network of spies across the USA and your IP is being traced right now so you better prepare for the storm, maggot. The storm that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your life. You’re fucking dead, kid. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can kill you in over seven hundred ways, and that’s just with my bare hands. Not only am I extensively trained in unarmed combat, but I have access to the entire arsenal of the United States Marine Corps and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable ass off the face of the continent, you little shit. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little “clever” comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your fucking tongue.

Alexander City is the closest town (or gas station) (or anything) and it's 25 minutes out from my place. I guess we're relatively close; I even have a dr's appt at UAB hospital next week.

But... they technically do unless you have a drug-drug interaction (e.g. antidepressants and 5-ht2a psychedelics), you can't process a drug for some genetic reason (e.g. codeine), or you have some crazily-different-than-normal liver enzymes. It's just the way you react to the changes that's different. I've driven while literally smoking weed easily (easily!) 400 times and I don't see how it could impair your driving abilities unless you are young, new at smoking, and/or paranoid as fuck. But, that's all for another thread [Panda5 sips opium tea].

not in GA, and a few other states as well. Radar jammers are ofc illegal here though
There is "proper" usage, though. You can't just be jamming every laser that gets shot at you while continuing to speed, or you will be pulled over and ticketed based on the officer's judgement. Once the jammer has detected and jammed a laser attempt, you immediately slow and disable the jammer as soon as you are at a legal speed.

About three years ago I got my first and only ticket.
Was somewhere in downtown Houston coming home at night going down I-10 eastbound. Have always thought the speedlimit was 70 or 75, doing 79.
Road rises up a little bit before going under an over pass, see cop on shoulder after I crest the """""hill""""", he hits his disco lights.
Speed limit was 60.
Get a ticket, tell court I'm going to do defensive driving. Pay something like $100-$150
Procrastinate because of work and just generally lazy.
Day before deadline I end up going to the courthouse and just paying the full ticket price.
Insurance didn't even go up.

I have never gotten a ticket for a moving violation. The last time I got pulled over it ended with me and my buddies sitting on the trunk of my car showing the cop and his lady partner videos of the fight we just saw at wild wings. Tickets are for bitches
>on masspike
>cruise set at 72, limit is 65
>step on it a little to get out of truck's blindspot thru a bend

the ticket wasn't bad, around $130 I think. What makes me mad though is it's honestly safer to get out of their blind spot quickly, the officer wasn't convinced though kek
Late for work about a month ago. Was driving like utter fucktard. Blowing through yields speeding 20mph over on residential roads. Full throttle between stop signs. Undercover cop starts following me. Realize am 13 secs away from house. Proceed to rush to my house faster around corners he has to slow down around because hes not used to them. (I'm driving Lexus is 300). I park in front my house facing wrong way. About to get out and he puts lights on. I'm like fuck my life. It's over. Cop tells me my violations. Reckless driving, speeding, etc. I'm like ok time for prison and license suspended and car impound. At the end of it I just say I'm late for work. Sees it's first time pulled over. Asks where I work. I say Sonic. He says well.... I like eating their so I'm going to give you a big break and let you off cause I don't want you to spit in my food. Lolwut.jpg say thank you and just sit there for a whole after he leaves. Got pulled over later that day again for going up a one way road that had retarded sign placement do it was hard to see behind a bush. Cop just said turn around and your good. Eventful day. Don't plan on getting pulled over again. Sry can't greentext newfag lurker life
last ticket was like $250 for going 120 in a 90.
There was a cop driving behind a swerving semi that was going 120.
He was going down a fucking hill where big trucks are restricted to 80, i pass at like 125 because that truck was doing sketchy shit.
Cop pulls me over for not displaying a new driver sticker thing and speeding.
I wouldn't even fucking care but the fact the cop was speeding, and behind a semi doing 40 over and I get a ticket? Bullshit.
BONUS:
Almost lost my licence, going 130 in an 80, broken brake light, not displaying new driver thing. Would have been about $1000 and lose my licence, but just got a warning.
Needless to say I don't speed anymore.
>>14782872
I got caught doing 90mph in a 65mph zone in New York awhile back. Having Connecticut plates probably didn't help matters. I went to court and ended up paying $193 and getting three points on my license (11 or more and your license is suspended). If I hadn't gone to court it could have been over $300 and 6-7 points plus I would have needed to take some bullshit driver reeducation course.
6 months later I was pulled over in Connecticut doing 68mph in a 45mph zone. I didn't go to court and only ended up paying $183 and receiving no points on my license.
After that I got a radar detector (9500ix) and took some time to learn about how radar and LIDAR worked and made sure I understood the limitations of the detector.
I've been pulled over since but never for speeding. It's probably been 2-3 years at least. I think I got those tickets sometime back around 2012. Any stuff since was small and didn't result in any fines.
Driving for a year, no tickets ever.
Because cope are corrupt as fuck I did get illegally detained once and cop took around 12 USD to let me go and not impound my car because that very fucking day I had taken all my documents out of the car to pay insurance and taxes, and forgot then at home.
>>14785369

>>14786785
You can try LIDAR jammers. If radar detectors are illegal jammers probably are too but it's worth looking into if you're interested. I don't know about Aus but in the US radar detectors are legal everywhere except VA and LIDAR jammers are legal in most states but VA and several others have laws against them.
They basically involve multiple sensor heads on the front and rear of the vehicle near the headlights and license plate. They detect any incoming LIDAR and fire back a much strong laser that overwhelms the one coming from the LIDAR gun. Most these days have special programming to defeat the many variable pulse rate guns on the market too.
They're very effective but very expensive too. A full 4-head front/rear install can run upwards of $1000. It's up to you to determine whether that's worth it or not and cops might not really like it if they find it, even if it is legal.

November 2014, somewhere in East Germany. 71 in a 50 kph zone, had to pay 85€ and got a point on my license.
only been pulled over once for speeding
was doing around 70-80km/h in a 60km/h zone (i was doing 80, then saw him and put on breaks, so must have clocked at 70, or he was just good to me)
he just gave warning said 'ill let you off but GG if you get pulled over again'. I'm pretty sure they were doing a drug testing 'blitz' thing, because the road I was going to was towards area where a lot of drug users are (though there's a lot in my area, so anywhere would catch them but it's more known that area is). and after that I read on the news a lot of people got caught with weed in their system, and most were from the area I was going to.
Was good though that I got warning even though I was driving in that direction to go on back roads to hoon. was in an import car, which had some little modifcations, and didn't have full license yet.. so I thought he was gonna fuck me and give fine, go over the car to defect and stuff. he could've if he wanted to since he had to wait 5 mins for saliva swab drug test to work and see if I did take any drugs (which I actually did too, which made me shit myself even more, but I said I just took some codeine/paracetamol before for a headache, incase 'morphine' or 'codeine' showed up, though i'd actually taken a little opium the night before)
I've had times where I've been hooning going 60+ over the speed limit, then I'll slow down because I think there's going to be a chance of their being a cop... and then there usually is one. last time was on a long open straight and I decided not to full throttle through all the gears, did small one then once speed limit i stopped. then just up the road right behind a car (cops seem to go pretty close, probably to hide thier car from incoming) there was one.
after that I stopped hooning for a while.. I still feel worried about doing it even on backroads. even before i got caught i only did at night and flicked lights off for second before corners to check for cars
10 years driving
always do 80 on the 65mph freeway
got my first ticket a few weeks back. everyone in my lane was doing 80 and the cop decided to get me.
he knocked it down to 72mph and the ticket was 170. i did driver school online and it cost 208 but took the points away.

I've had a few tickets over the years (10 or 12), never cost more than $50 and the occasional insurance surcharge. I knew I was speeding, cops were generally cool about it, no hard feelings all around. The stop that still enrages me is one I didn't get ticketed for:
>driving Miata, not exceeding speed limits
>make a left turn after signaling, followed by an immediate right, then another left almost immediately after that
>blue lights & sirens everywhere
>"Sir, I pulled you over because you didn't brake for the turn. License & registration please"
>"It's posted for 30 mph, no braking was needed. I didn't so much as squeal a tire"
>"We don't tolerate reckless driving in this town"
>keeps me sitting there for 10 minutes, no ticket

Lol. Dude I have nothing against police most of the time, but in my experience, a great many are on a constant power trip. If you challenge them in any way (no matter how small) they will take GREAT offense and attempt to shut you the fuck down.
That said, I can imagine doing what you did myself haha
>>14787057
You're living the dream m8 Id kill for that
>>14783791
That's badass
>>14787739
Sorry to tell you, but your opinion is just flat wrong.

His dad wanted to give him an RS4 but the kid wanted a G37s. When they test drove the G37s his dad said it was way too strong for him and that he'd either get in an accident or get it impounded. So they compromised on the G25x. Still fucks it up.
>>14788141
probably because police don't have any other job to do than *enforce* the law. They just observe and react to infractions of the law. Arguing over whether or not you broke the law is what court is for. Why are you wasting your time trying to challenge a cop when you should be arguing to a judge or maybe even lobbying for laws that you disagree with?
not really a ticket ...
cost me 500, served by state prosecutor
actually, that was a breddy guud deal
lawyer cost me another 500, though
>>14782872
I've never had a ticket. I always get off because I'm a well mannered white guy.

>previously the cop had to physically show up and testify to what you did if you challenged and they usually didn't
never been actually pulled over. it's honestly really worth biking over driving here most of the time. you can break/bend so many road rules on a bicycle and never get stopped.
payed like $150.
>>14787774
>making you go slower than other traffic because you are a new driver

I don't even feel that bad about being in Canada now.

u wot m8
I got lucky
>driving on highway to work thats 20 minutes away
>usually go 80mph in the fast lane when going to work in the morning which is what everyone else is pretty much going on the 65mph highway
>going there early as fuck in the morning like 3am early
>no cars on the highway so im flying at 99mph
>not even thinking how fast im going until i realize im going 99mph, might as well go 100mph
>see state trooper on the side of the road in the distance despite the total darkness
>oh fuck, big trouble for me
>slow the fuck down as i pass him by down to 70mph
>am I good? nope he pulls out right behind me
>no lights? so i must be good! nope, lights turn on
>pull over to the side of the road
>"why you driving so fast son?"
>"honestly, officer, this highway is crowded later in the day, i just try to keep up with the flow of traffic. The empty road threw me off so I was literally didn't even realize how fast I was going"

>Hand him my papers
>20 minutes later
>Hands me 103$ ticket
>Registration paper wasn't signed
I do have to say that cops seem reluctant to give me demerit points. I don't know if the fact my dad is in the RCMP has anything to do with it. I know there are at least two times they should have seized my vehicle and I got off with a warning.
>>14785190
>44 in a 30
Whoa, better slow down there, partner.
You're going to kill everyone, going 44mph!
delivering pizza in virginia. I as doing 65 in a 25. Ran the only speed trap in town. cop wrote it down as 18 over so i didnt get reckless. Took it to court, pled guilty, paid 60 dollars in court costs and took a driver safety course online. I deliver pizza to the jail and the police station so thats probably why.

was pretty happy about that
>>14782872
Speeding like 12km/h over the limit on a country road, wasn't paying attention, $200, my girlfriend cried.
>>14782872
So far I have been pulled over twice in my life and never received a ticket. It feels weird because I speed all the time, and I know one off these days they're probly gonna get me
>>14782872
Funny that this pops up, I got one 4 hours ago. The road is two lanes and pretty straight and the speed limit is fucking 30. No one goes 30 but I got pulled over for going 50. Buuut my other ticket I got last year was dropped so it showed this way my first ticket, only paying 50 dollars. Cop was kind of a dick honestly but atleast its not a big ticket.
>>14782872
>Loss of Control over a Motor Vehicle - $200 but no demerit points
i was super happy with this, since any other fine would of meant the end of my license.
>>14782872
Never got one since I'm a law abiding citizen.
$200 bucks for improper left turn.
I actually turned left not in the turn lane while the turn lane light was red. But he decided not to kill me.
I've been pulled over for speeding three times.
>121km/h in a 50 (CBR600_
>75mph in a 55 (visiting USA, MINI Cooper)
>87km/h in a 50 (BMW 328i)
I've gotten off with a warning every time. Just be polite and respectful and white.
October 2012 in Montreal, Canada.
Driving 122 km/h on a 4-lane highway, the ONLY one in the entire city that isn't full of potholes, with a 70 km/h limit.
52 km/h over the limit, 670$, 10 demerit points, stays on my record for 10 years because it is judged as "excessive high speed".

>sir, why were you speeding?
>I'm sonic
>ok, have a nice day sir.
>>14785231
idk fambam I was driving stoned just last week and 35 felt like 60 it was pretty trippy
>>14793218
Luckily my 92 Sambar doesn't go fast enough to beat the speed limit
>>14793148
That legitimately made me laugh out loud. But yes I almost laid the price because I gotta go fast
>>14787740
Thank you I will remember you kind words. Man /o/ is so much nicer than the cancer that is /b/
>>14793148
6 months ago, $300 after contesting it in court. Got caught going 95 in a 65. Even though i was going 109. 1mph faster, and I would have been tagged for wreckless driving
>>14793807
<<<U lucky bastard
>>14793807
is this kmh?
here any speeding ticket over 80mph (or 20mph over the limit) could be reckless driving, up to cop's discretion
>>14782894
Consider yourself lucky, you lose your license for going 80km over over here. And probably have to show up in court as well
I got a speeding ticket in a John Deere Gator on a military base.
I got out of it because
1. Gator's stated top speed is not higher than the speed limit
2. It has no speedometer. So how could I stay in the the speed limit?
Never because I don't break the law you bunch of scum sucking niggers

>>14790952
Yes, this actually happened. I don't know how or why, or what the actual fuck.
38th st. in Tacoma, coming off of I5, about 2009. I couldn't fucking believe it.
Six years ago. 72 in a 60 in I270 during AM rush hour. Barely faster than prevailing traffic in far left lane. In a Subaru Forester! Bullshit fucking ticket by an asshole cop. $142 including online "traffic school" to waive points.
Fuck I hate Revenue Enhancement Officers sometimes. Dickheads. Go solve a fucking crime or something.
I always down vote referendums and shit dealing with public employees now. And ask me how I feel about Fraternal Order of Police calling me for a donation....
5 years ago... Pennsylvania 100 in a 65, trooper wrote it as a 96... Wanted to see if a Toyota Prius could break 100... $102 proved somehow it could

Ouch m8, cop must of really hated you.
Last year.
