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.

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.
