Default Just Got A Speeding Ticket.
So I just got a speeding ticket for going 63 in a 50 from a state trooper. Guess I'm gonna have to take defensive driving . Another 6 hours with old people who take the class to lower their insurance rates. I was less then a mile from where I live. I was heading to my friend's house to go eat some bbq. And the bbq wasn't even all that great, lol. So I got a ticket and ate some weak bbq. Damn.. Today just wasn't my day!

Sorry guys.. Just had to rant about it.

Damn man that sucks. But atleast you can take defensive. Heard of a guy that got pulled over for going 110 in a 70. Ouch that one will hurt!

Give the ticket to an attorney first.
Around ~$50 per ticket. I have never had a ticket come back to court once I gave it to my attorney.

fight the ticket. . .
it was windy. . .
the trooper clocked me AND another car at the same time. . .
I was passing to get to the turn since the people in the right lane wouldn't let me over. . .
it wasn't me. . . it was the 1-armed man! ! !

Yeah. I'm gonna have to take that 6 hour boring class. Last time I went there was nothing but old people in there for insurance reasons. I sat next to a 65+ yr. old guy who told me he was in there for speeding. And get this, as his was pulling over when the cop stopped him for speeding he hit a mail box with his truck.. lol.
