Well granted you were speeding but thats kinda dick, considering all day long ppl do ~80mph… When I used to work at Hannaford in Schodack I used to do around 85-90 on the way there and back, never got stopped once ---

> [@Hooked on 240](#): > > :ohnoes bad day? :lol no, im just trying to understand why they will stop me for not having a front plate when theres one clearly visible on the back(like im going to be flying backwards down the highway running from them) and they do nothing about those rust piles? shit like that doesnt fly in russia or in japan. you get a ticket that u cannot argue out, its basically a set fine you pay for just having a piece of shit car and then you have whatever the alloted time period by law to fix that shit or get it off the road or youre not allowed to drive it anymore.
