Speeding ticket (78 in a 55): $275.00
Destruction of county property (vandalism!): $325.00
Replacement speed tapes: $1375.00
Total: $1975.00 and 5 points

This was a few years ago, and my wife is STILL mad!

They dont use anything around here. Most tickets can be fought and you will win 50% of the time. The cops simply put down an "estimated speed" based on their "training". It sucks big time. Those speed-wire thingies sound like a bitch! Glad they arent around here...

I have two years of stories about rich F@#ks here that think because they spent 70k on a car they can beat a Formula. I have to pace myself or I am going to end up writing one big long post telling all of them at once.
