Harry,

Only if you get pulled over by the State Police. Every local department has different fines/point assesment. You don't always get pulled over on the highway by the state police. A 5 or 6 over could net you 2-3 points depending on the department that nabs you.

^^^ Very true. Last spring I got my first speeding ticket on a surface street nonetheless (I RARELY go 5 over the speed limit on surface streets). Anyway, I got caught doing like 42 in a 25 (on WMU campus lol.) I was trying to pass this guy on a bicycle around a curve and misjudged the oncoming traffic because of the curve. Plus, with the delay in the gas, my car shot up from 30 to 42 in no time and hence why I got pulled over. I was in shock. I was lucky though, because it was my first offense, he only wrote me up for 5 over but it was still 2 pts on my license. Thankfully the points will be gone next spring (only lasts 2 years for this offense). So now I'm back to rarely going 5 over even on the fwy. Damn KZoo and WMU Police actually being police. Lol.

Needless to say, once I got back to the dorm my girly instincts kicked in and I was balling because I kept thinking of how my parents would kill me and the insurance would go up, etc. Somtimes I think too far ahead when it comes to things like that. Lol. My parents weren't mad at me thankfully. They just teased me a lot. So far the insurance hasn't gone up though, so that makes me happy.

Lol, he made me call my mom right there at the spot. When i got home, mom said I can't believe you got caught speeding "finally". You are just grounded from going anywhere, for a week. (Just because i didn't get a ticket)
 
Code:
Current ride : 96 Contour, GL ATX 188k miles.

Forgive me for asking this, but were you driving the above car when he left you with his comment:confused:

Escort 8500 X50 has been saving me for years. Although it seems like they are using laser on the highways all of the time now.

I've had mine for almost 4 years now and it's saved me hundreds of times, especially on the two lane roads up north. I haven't noticed much laser, but maybe it's just where I'm driving.

I'm over 18 so the cop didn't make me call anyone. lol. I decided to call my folks after the whole thing seeing as they pay for my car insurance.

How did you get your license?
Did they test you at all beforehand?

I can see why insurance rates are what they are... :nonono:
Click to expand...
Yes, they did.

My insurance is only 60$ a month..so i'm not worried. Have only gotten one ticket, and that's not may fault.

X2.

You're batting 1000 here kid. You're obviously young and somewhat clueless based on the fact that-
1) You work at McDonalds and whine about it.
2) You drive 76 in a 55, and apparently you do it quite often since your mother said that you "finally" got caught.
3) You don't wear your seatbelt and see no reason to have to.
4) You honestly think that nothing was your fault.

I have never whined about it. Are you talking about the thread about the fish? That wasn't whining, that was stating.

You are correct, i do speed quite a bit.

3) You don't wear your seatbelt and see no reason to have to.

I am only harming myself.

Eh, the whole thing with the first ticket was this story : Dad asked me to go to gas station to get pop, and to take the truck (not mine, his). On my way home, i get pulled over for a broken headlight. He says its no biggie till he tells me that the truck i am driving (my fathers) has no insurance. I got a ticket for that.

Sorry, but i don't see how that's my fault.

Oh, if a mod see's this he can lock up this troll.
 
Are you seriously calling me a troll? :troutslap: I own 2 Contours for the moment, thank you very much. I drove one yesterday...and it reminded me why I like my G8 better.
 
My way of crapping on this thread is leaving it open.

Don't come in my section spouting off at the mouth unless you're ready to handle the repercussions.
