Stupid traffic ticket

[CoventryCat86]

LMAO!! Actually the Jags (well at least the sedans I drive) aren't really that fast, nor are they quick off the line. The little econoboxes can out do me when we both take off side by side from a green light They ride pretty nice at highway crusing speeds but it's NOT like you find yourself all of a sudden doing 80 mph without knowing it. The speedo if way off in the '92 so I have no idea how fast I'm going. It says 90 when I'm barely keeping up with traffic which means when it says 90, I'm really doing 65 to 70. I gotta REALLY push the '86 to go over 75 so I hardly ever do. The old BMW cruises nicely on the highway and even though it's one of those big old 7-series, it's faster off the line than the Jags. Now my ole Buick Park Ave, well that thing like to fly It's got one of those digital speedometers that only goes up to 85 then starts flashing Good thing I don't cross paths with you when I'm in that situation

I'm with George on the ticket thing. You really have to piss me off to get one. Since I made Sergeant...about four years ago, I haven't written a ticket. I have a crew that I look after that takes most of my time. I do have a few guys that do their share and mine of writing them.

toooo tired to read this thread.. but howd the guy make out with that ticket? I woulda fought it, just show up and most of the time it gets thrown out and you win, around here at least.. I skimmed through and it looked like there are a bunch of cops on these forums? god, a little different community then the local car forums I goto :-x the two prolly wouldn't get along too well haha

In a light-hearted manner- there is a group caled the National Motorist Association. They proclaim themselves as an organization of drivers who advocate for "driver's rights" or whatever that is(nevermind that driving is a privilege, not a right) Anyways, if you join, you can buy some deluxe kit that will help you represent yourself in court when you go and fight the "powers that be" that gave you a ticket. Supposedly, if you use it and lose, they will refund money to you-though I'm sure there's lots of fine print about that.
