Title: Speeding Ticket
Post by: ryott52 on July 02, 2011, 04:11:19 AM
Woo, got my first speeding ticket on my bike. Got tagged by a cop on a Harley shooting LIDAR, 51 in a 35. Fun stuff. It's going to cost me $158...

Bummer.  If you're gonna get bagged for speeding you may as well go 85 in a 65 zone and make it somewhat worthwhile!

85 around here is considered reckless driving, they arrest you for that as of two years ago. That would've just about ruined my week. Oh well, I don't work until wednesday, time to find something fun to do.

usually anywhere 20+ over is considered reckless. ive taken people in/booked them for that. IF they were deserving it. many times htey just got a masssive ass ticket and were sent home. dependign on how hteyve behaved in teh past. but many times LEO's wont write a reckless ticket. cause its too much work lol. then again if youre a dangerous driver/rider more often then not, odds are youll get stopped on your bike/car and ride off in thiers

I got done a couple months back for doing 65 in a 50 - in my car!. Mind you, I came Off a 60 zone road and the 50 zone road was NOT signed. I also had to speed up to get around the cop car which was creating a shicane, to avoid the oncoming car - cause two cars cannot fit in one space. Fackers wouldn't budge  :mad: :mad: :mad:

Turns out, Unless you see a sign it is automatically a 50 zone. What kind of stupid ass rule is that?

When I paid at the Dept of transport - which are the people who set the limits - the lady behind the counter thought the road I got done on was a 60 zone as well and she travels it daily for work.

I get my points back in 3 years.  :o

Not happy Jan  :mad: :mad:

my record was awful years ago, haha. I didn't really ride for a few years though, so now that I'm back on a bike I got a fresh start. Happy to report I haven't gotten pulled over since.
