Thread: Might have to wait on my new toy ...

  1. #1

    Default Might have to wait on my new toy ...

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

    tsk, tsk tsk........ I pays to obey the speed limit
    I'm not big on doing reviews, tobacco doesn't taste like "cocoa" or "nutty" or "mocha" to me, it tastes like freakin' TOBACCO. I know what I like and I really don't care what other people think of other cigars. I've never read a review and said to myself "Wow, that sounds like a cigar I'd like to try!"

    I pays even more to find out where the local PD likes to hang out and go make friends.

    Cool

    I drive 55 both way. Saves me money on gas and being on salary it doesn't matter wether I'm late or leave early.

    Forgot, it gives me a chance to smoke a Double Corona each way.

    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.

    I do both

    Mind you I did get my first speeding ticket ever this past summer. over $350.00 CDN and points. Luckily my insurance didn't take a hit.... Its amazing how into a rythm you can get, after 4.5 years of driving at 230km/hour on the Autobahn in Germany you don't even notice if you are zooming along at 150km/h. It seems slow.

    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

    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.

    Get yourself a quality radar detector. It's worth every penny.
    There's only two kinds of cigars, the kind you like and the kind you don't.
