Anyway, when I saw him roll out from the median, I figured I was hosed, so I cleared the semi and kept rolling. I let the car slow down to 80, then when I saw his lights (he was about a quarter mile back), I pulled over and waited for him. I had everything in hand when he tapped on the passenger window. He asked if I knew why he was stopping me, I said, yes, I did something stupid. Bottomline, he told me he could write me for 100+ in a 75 (which is 'go to jail' time & a $600 fine) but he gave me a ticket for 'basic speed' (Don't ask, I don't know what he meant by that)... It was a $185 fine, which I paid Monday. I was polite and respectful, and probably the veterans tag helped some too.
Pay the ticket, and chalk it up to being a little more careful in the future. |
admission of guilt and showing some remorse is usually grounds enough for the officer to be more lenient. feign ignorance and or be a d1ck wad and you're going to get the thick end of the pole.
glad you didn't get sent to the slammer
