Got a pretty hefty speeding ticket this morning. :smiley6: Was running late for work. Sucks. Now that probably means even longer on the toy and even longer on the cigar buying. sigh.

So Chris, being 15 minutes late vs. the cost of your ticket...probably would have been cheaper to lose the 15 minutes of salary don't ya think?
Sucks dude. Court costs is what gets you too. That's $55 in VA alone. Get AOE and get some free cigars from me (when you beat me) LOL.

If you were wearing your party shorts, I'm sure the officer would have given you a warning and his/her phone number.
I never exceed the legal speed limit. I'm sure that no one else here does, either. I still don't know if the Shelby will go faster than 55.
I never smoke ISOMs either.

Plead not guilty and ask for a trial. They will make you a lower offer. Basically your not late until 7mins after the time your to clock into work.
when you get fines in the states, do you have to pay up front? I hae heard of people fetting hit with a $50 fine, and having to pul out the wallet and pey there an then, or 'go down town'
Here in Oz, we get a bit of paper, have 22 days to pay, then you get another 22 days to pay. My wife must be seeing how long this can go on for. Its ben a few months, and no reminder. Oh well, its not my licence. Guess I might get to do all the driving of the Buck :smiley20:
naw, here they give you 90 days. i always wait the week before it's due to pay it. that's just me though, a procrastinator by birth ... American by the grace of God.Quote:

Hey Chris, If you need to look at one of those toys while your waiting just look close at my computer desk pics:smiley15: Serious though, sorry to hear that.
