Sorry, I didn't notice the LOL. I had a guy at work the other day in almost
the exact same situation and he was SERIOUS about trying to fight it. Rob "Tom" > wrote in message ... > As BDragon stated so eloquently: > >> Doesn't anyone notice the LOL posted after the comment?

As RicSeyler stated so eloquently:

I took the class about 15 years ago when I got my last ticket. Man...I almost made it a whole year with the Vette before I got a ticket. -- Tom "That man is richest whose pleasures are cheapest." -Henry Thoreau |

Not true. Most insurance companies allow 3 points before messing with you.
They also need a reason to pull up your record. So pay your bill on time and don't get anymore tickets and after three years the points drop off. (I think its 3 years.. it may vary by state). I must say 90 miles per hour range is a bit extreme when you have company driving next to you. In my experience, the cops are more lenient if you get caught speeding on your own rather than with company because then they dont think you're racing. (Though I know if you were racing in a Vette you'd be at 120+). Anyway.. good luck with your fast driver award. Dont forget to frame it. -Stan '99 Blown C5 Vert '00 Torch Red Coupe "twaugh5" > wrote in message news:vu6Xd.54328$SF.29951@lakeread08... > > "Tom" > wrote in message > ... >> I was rollin' along on the interstate in the hammer lane being followed >> by a newer model Mustang.

I was caught doing 100+ in a 35 (ya i know stupid)..cop sees my baby seat next to me. He says "you can buy a lot of formula with what I am saving you" He hands me a a ticket for $170 and only 21 over. Well I thought I would be smart. Dressed in suit and tie. Waited my turn. Judge says "looks like officer made a mistake" whew I thought, he would drop the ticket further. NOPE. he raised it back up to nearly $400, took off 6 or 8 pts AND then said.. "to teach you lesson son, you are paying 1/2 day court costs. everyone this morning is here FREE because of you" an additional $500.. nearly $900 I should have taken the 170.00 |

Maybe in your closet, if he didn't have a warrant to enter your house. Otherwise, of course not! |

Yep. That's one thing a lot of people dont realize when goping to court.
The judge can impose $500 court costs.. Kind of crappy and probably illegal but it would probable cost twice as much to fight it. -Stan "dave" > wrote in message ... > === you must first take out MYUGLYSISTER to email me privately === > >> > I think I will fight it.
