Well it happens to everyone, everyone gets a speeding ticket, and on Monday I got mine. After 5 years of ticket free driving (not even being pulled over) I got one, and boy did I ever get one. I was stuck behind a slow moving 18 wheeler, so I moved into the passing lane and stepped on the gas to pass him. As I passed him he started to go faster forcing me to move even faster to get around him, and thats when I was hit with the gun. The cop walked into the middle of the road and pointed at me to pull into a parking lot…and well. 80 in a 50 zone (cop did not mark down at all) $210 Expired tags (4 days expired) $165 Failed to have new insurance papers (have not got in mail. im not giving excuses im just saying why i did not have my new papers) $65 Total: $440 + 6 demerit points Someone kill me now. ---

expired pink paper/invalid sticker both dropped at first appearance, bring valid slip with overlap date of offense and receipt of sticker. 80 in a 50… kinda softcore…if you ask me ---

“wow i thought i was f’ed so i should go to court and do the ‘guilty with a reason’ thing?” Dude read what everyone is saying at the most you will have a ticket for the speeding with no points. The other two will get waived but bring them to the justice of the peace. No points is way better then 6. ---

yeah i havent gotten off to easy, ive had off duty cops screaming & swearing and trying to call my parents, and a ticker for 170km/h in a 90 and paid xpolice $400 to reduce it 15km/h and still have to pay $800 for the ticket. not sure how many points. i got a careless too from a cop just randomly driving by and seeing my car in a snowbank 2nd day i had my car on my road, he made some assumptions and wrote me up a nice careless for my insurance to see but i fought it down to a “turn not in signal”??..my last one tho the cop let me off cuz he saw my record so he just gave me a ticket for an invalid placement of my sticker cuz i had a frame around the plate that covered the corners.
