Hey tony!
have you sent your ticket in yet?
i called them today.
if you appeal it, they will send you something telling you what info they need from you like, your past driving record and a letter stating why you were not doing what the officer said.
she also said once you get the letter stating what they want from you, you have about a week to get it back to them!
they try to make it very complicated, hoping you will just say screw it and pay the fine.
and when you mail it out it has to be within 48 for appeal and sent via registered, certified, or first class mail with return reciept.
i still have to call my ins company to see if it will effect my driving record here.

just talked to my Ins. she said they now report all traffic violations. she said it may take a little while, but they do go thru.
she is going to send me my driving record, so i have it ready.
and as far as i know, everything should have dropped off it by now and i am clean for the past 7 years!

and btw, the answer shoulda been yes, you're special for having SVT everwhere. S stands for Speshul - derrrr  The tint thing is what ticks me off the most about your ticket.

yeah, tony and i got pulled over for doing 82 in a 65 when we never broke 70!
we were tailed for a long time before the cop had a back up cruiser show up to pull us both over.
he didnt bother with the other NY drivers that passed us.
and they both bugged us about our tint.
i got a ticket, tony didn't.
Cop:"your tint is 35%, new york limit is 70%, so its too dark.
but mass is 35%, so its legal in my state.
hehe
and the funny thing is, my tint is actually 20%
hehe his meter sucks
hehe

yeah that really doesn't make any sense, your not from NY so why would you have to be held to anything but the tint standards of the state that you are from

I haven't done anything about the ticket yet, but I'll get on top of that right away. I've just been soo busy and exhuasted since I got home.
Yeah, Mike had his cruise set at 70 I believe, and I followed along behind him, with a speed ranging from 67-70.
My gauge said 75 which is 5 mph off since my gauge install, and my GPS showed 67-70 the entire time we were followed.
Give me one reason why I would blow by a cop going 82 mph, when I see him way ahead and already have a cop following behind me?
Cops think they own the world and can get away with anything because they are "the law".

hmm, news to me, okay. They can't do anything about your tint, it's legal in your state, and even if it wasn't they cant enforce ny inspection laws on out of state cars.
It would be like getting a ticket in ny for no inspection sticker with a florida plate, don't think so.
Trust me ny york sucks, the trooper that pulled me over was a real hard ass. He asked me for my firefighter id since I had IAFF(union sticker)stickers on my truck to prove I'm a firefighter. He took my id and info then came back and said here's your ticket I don't give breaks, what an azz  .
